The broadest taxonomic classification of living
organisms.

Classified by how they obtain their


food, the type of cells they are
made of and the number of cells
they contain

Organisms grouped together by their


morphology, or anatomy
(Subphylum = Vertebrate/Invertebrate)

Organisms sharing more


common physical
and bilogical charachteristics
(Fur - Feathers - Scales)

Further classifation by more specific traits such as diet


(carnivore, herbivore, etc),
and key physical traits such as teeth.

Families are grouped by


more distinct traits like habitat and specific diet
preferences.
(Climate preferences, strictly
herbivore/insectivore/omnivore)

Genus adds more precise characteristics such as food


storage (cheek pouches) and consumption, size, dwelling,
fur color, nocturnal/diurnal,
and hibernation patterns)

The smallest and most specific classification;


these species are commonly
similar enough to interbreed.
(Think Labradoodle puppies)
