    This document outlines the 7 levels of biological classification: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. It provides examples to illustrate each level, from the broadest kingdom level down to the most specific species level. The levels are hierarchical, with each level containing smaller, more similar groups. The last level of species contains organisms that can interbreed to produce fertile offspring.

    7Levels of Classification

    1.
    Kingdom- 5 Groups within Kingdom
    (Which group does it belong to? Is it
    an. Animalia, Plant, Fungi, Protista,
    Monera)
    2.
    Phylum- The structure of the animal
    (Does it have a backbone?)

    -Chordate Phylum: Animals which have a


    backbone.
    E.g.
    Fish,
    Reptiles,
    Birds,
    Amphibians, and Mammals.
    -Arthropod Phylum: Animals that have an
    exoskeleton, (meaning the skeleton is on the
    outside of the body).
    E.g.
    Insects,
    Arachnids=
    (Spiders
    or
    scorpions), and Crustaceans= (Prawns,
    Lobster, Crayfish).
    -Mollusc Phylum: Soft-bodied animals that
    sometimes have a hard shell. E.g. Snails,
    Slugs, Octopus, Squid, Clams, Oysters, and
    Mussels

    3.Class- Are they a mammal or a reptile? This


    allows us to tell mammals from birds, fish
    and reptiles
    4.Order- Similar families are grouped into an
    order E.g Carnivore, Herbivora and Omnivora

    5.Family- What family do they belong to? E.g


    Humans belong to Hominidae, which includes
    great
    apes
    (gorillas,
    orangutans
    and
    chimpanzees)
    6.Genus- Genus is a way to describe the
    generic name for an organism
    7.Species- A group of similar individuals that
    can breed and produce fertile offspring
    The following chart goes through the 7 levels of
    classification of a Grizzly Bear. At each level, be
    aware of the characteristics the different
    organisms share. The kingdom is the largest
    group and very broad. Each successive group
    contains fewer organisms, but the organisms are
    more similar.
