Animal Classification
Animal classification is the systematic categorization of organisms based on shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. It encompasses a wide range of taxa, from microscopic single-celled organisms to complex multicellular species. By grouping animals into hierarchical levels such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species, classification provides a framework for understanding the diversity of life on Earth. Through this scientific discipline, researchers aim to elucidate the evolutionary history and biological relationships among different animal groups, facilitating further study in fields such as ecology, genetics, and conservation biology.
