This document explains the classification of animals in zoology, organized into a hierarchical taxonomy from kingdom to species. It highlights the broad categories, such as kingdom Animalia and phylum Chordata, and elaborates on specific groups like classes, orders, families, and genera. Each level of classification is defined, illustrating how animals are sorted according to their similarities.

■ Imagine a giant family tree for all the animals
in the world! Zoology classification, like a
fancy way of sorting animals, helps us
organize them into groups based on how
similar they are
