What are some examples of animal classification?

Nine taxonomic ranks make up the animal kingdom: Life > Domain > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species. Although this is the correct order in which animals are classified, the first two are frequently left out, and occasionally a ninth rank, subfamily-, is added.

Using the lion as an example, the animal classification is as follows:

Family: Felidae Subfamily: Pantherinae Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Species: Panthera leo

The blue whale is another illustration; its classification as an animal is as follows:

Animalia is the kingdom, Chordata is the phylum, Mammalia is the class, Cetacea is the order, Balaenopteridae is the family, and Balaenoptera musculus is the species.

Some examples of animal classification include mammals (e.g., dogs, cats, humans), birds (e.g., eagles, sparrows, penguins), reptiles (e.g., snakes, turtles, lizards), amphibians (e.g., frogs, salamanders), and fish (e.g., goldfish, salmon, sharks).
