12. What the levels mean?? Why do all this.
Every organism has and identification. They all have there own place in the classification system.
Some classification groups can contain a large number of species while other groups only have a few species.

14. What is that animal called???
Can you tell me what level it belongs to?

15. Scientific Names
Scientific names should not be confused with say an animal's common name.
This animal's scientific name is Felis concolor
An example of this is the mountain lion: which is also known as the puma, cougar, catamount, and American Panther.

16. Why a scientific name?
An organism's scientific name consists of two words
The first is the organism’s genus
The second word is the species label
The scientific name given to each species is unique. This means even if they have the same common name they will have a different scientific name.
