The levels of classification


                         
 Today i'm talking about the seven levels classification.  Since the african lion is one of my favroite animals let classify that.              

 The first level is the animal kingdom.   It classifies all living animals,so since were talking about african lions,that would be the first level they would go to.

The second level is the phylum level.  To african lions it's chordata. Chordata means animals with backbones,so this level would be full of vertebrates like elephants and sharks.        

The third level is the level of class.  To them it's mammalia.  Mammalia means mammals who can breed or give milk,like dolphins and wolves.  

Now let's go to the fourth level, the level of order.  To lions it's carnivora.  Carnivora means animals who eat meat like foxes and bears.

 The next level is the level of family.  To lions that's felidae.  Felidae means animals who are from that family of animals.  For lions that would be that cat family,so tigers,panthers and other types of cats would be in this level.

The sixth level is the level of genus.  To them this is panthera.  Panthera means big cats who can roar like panthers,lions and tigers.

The last level is the level of species.  To lions, this means panthera leo.  Panthera leo means lion,so panthera leo is the species of cats since thats the last level. 

Since the genus is panthera and the species is panthera leo.  The scientific name would be panthera leo.  Good bye guys.
