Through a classification process, things are ordered, animals in this case, based on traits or characteristics they have in common. As regards the classification of animals, they do not constitute a single group.
In order to classify living beings conveniently, all zoos in the world have agreed to follow guidelines to define living beings. These rules are as follows:
Starting with the larger group, the animal kingdom, these are divided into smaller and smaller categories.
Each animal belongs to a type or phylum, a subtype, a class, a order, to a family and a species.
Classification example for men:
KINGDOM Animals | |||
---|---|---|---|
FILO or TYPE Ropes: animals with spine. | |||
CLASS Mammals: the young are fed through the breasts. | |||
ORDER Primates: | |||
FAMILY Hominids: includes current and other missing men | |||
GENDER Homo: man | |||
SPECIE Sapiens: in Latin means you think. |
A species is a set of very similar living beings, capable of reproducing each other. Every species has a Latin name, composed of a generic and a specific name. Thus, the Latin name of man is Homo sapiens. The species tells us exactly what animal we are talking about.
