Other Animals That Share These Characteristics • Diet • Dogs • Outer Covering • Rats • Habitat • Elephants • Warm blooded • birds
Other Animals That Share These Characteristics • Size • Bears • Colour • Taipan • Reproductive information • House cats
Classification Of The Lion • Kingdom • Anamalia • I know that it fits in this kingdom because it is a complex organism (has many cells) that moves around and cannot make its own food • Phylum • Chordata • I know that it fits this phylum because it has a backbone
Classification Of The Lion • Class • Mammalia • I know that it belong to the mammal class because it has fur, is warm blooded and, most importantly, feeds its young milk • Order • Carnivora • I know that it belongs to this order because it is carnivorous
Classification Of The Lion • Family • Felidae • I know that it fits into this family because it is a feline and has retractable claws, • Genus • Pantera • I know that it fits into this genus because most of the big cats do • Species • Leo • I know that this is its species name because I found it on the internet at http://home.concepts-ict.nl/~rlion/lkindex.htm#kindex
Useful Characteristics For This Classification • The characteristics I found most useful were: • Outer covering • This helped me to determine that the lion was a mammal • Diet • With this animal, its diet enabled me to recognise that it belonged to the order Carnivora • Reproductive strategies • This characteristic enabled me to classify it as a eutherian (as opposed to marsupial or montreme) mammal
