Key Points
1. Every species is defined based on nine branching categories. 2. Animals are a kingdom of complex multi-celled organisms that do not produce their own food. This kingdom contains all living and extinct animals. 3. Every animal family is further divided into small groups known as a genus. Animal kingdom classification is an important system for understanding how all living organisms are related. Based on the Linnaeus method, species are arranged and grouped based on shared characteristics. T...
All living organisms can be placed in one of six different animal kingdomclassifications. The characteristics of each animal kingdom are: 1. Animal – A kingdom of complex multi-celled organisms that do not produce their own food. This kingdom contains all living and extinct animals. Examples include elephants, whales, and humans. 2. Plants – Comple...
After animal kingdom, animal species usually fall into one of seven different phylum or phyla: 1. Porifera – Marine animals more commonly known as sponges and found in every ocean on earth. 2. Cnidaria – Mostly marine animals that include over 11,000 species. Examples include coral, jellyfish, and anemones 3. Platyhelminthes – Typically parasitic f...
The phylum group is then divided into even smaller groups, known as animal classes. The Chordata phylum splits into these seven animal classes: 1. Agnatha (jaw-less fish) – Primitive jawless fish including lampreys, hagfishes, and extinct groups. 2. Chrondrichtyes (cartilaginous fish) – Composed of fish with skeletons composed of cartilage. Include...
Each class is divided into small groups again, known as orders. There is no universally accepted breakdown for the class Mammalia. Some outline as many as 26 different orders for the class Mammalia. Some of the most popular examples include: 1. Artiodactyla (even-toed hoofed animals) – Examples include moose, camels, and giraffes 2. Carnivora – Ani...
In every order, there are different animal families which are defined by groups that have very similar features. Animal families are basically sub-divided into two main groups–vertebrates and invertebrates. One example of animal families would be the 12 families that fall under the Carnivora order (Carnivores). The twelve families include: 1. Felid...
Every animal family is further divided into smaller groups known as genera, or genuses. Each genus contains animals that have very similar features and are closely related. For example, the Felidae (Cat) family contains genuses including: 1. Felis (small Cats and domestic Cats) 2. Panthera (Tigers, Leopards, Jaguars and Lions) 3. Pumas (Panthers an...
Each species within the genus is named after its features and characteristics. The names of animals are based in Latin and consist of two words. The first word in the name of an animal will be the genus, and the second name indicates the specific species. This method of organizing scientific names of animal species was developed by Carl Linnaeus in...

Class. Order. Suborder. Animal Families. Genus. Species. The Six Kingdoms. When Linnaeus developed his system of classification, there were only two kingdoms, Plants and Animals. But the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of new organisms and the identification of differences in animal and plant cells .
