Animals by Scientific Class Names
The scientific names of animals are named and classified using the binomial nomenclature system of biology. This system is based on a series of hierarchical structures, from the broadest to the most specific, including kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. The following is the general structure of the scientific names of animals:
| Class | name | Example |
| Kingdom | Animalia | Homo sapiens、Canis lupus familiaris |
| Phylum | Chordata | Balaenoptera musculus、Aves |
| Class | Mammalia | Panthera tigris、whale |
| Order | Primates | Gorilla gorilla、Macaca mulatta |
| Family | Hominidae | Homo sapiens、Gorilla |
| Genus | Homo | Homo sapiens、Homo neanderthalensis |
| Species | Homo sapiens | Modern humans only |
This classification method helps biologists clearly understand and study the relationship between species, and promotes various biological studies.
