  1. Scientific Classification/Taxonomy

  2. Scientific Classification • What is the two-name naming system where the organisms “genus” and “species” names are written in Latin? • Who developed the system we still use to this day for naming organisms? Why is it important to use the scientific classification system in veterinary science? Binomial Nomenclature Carlos Linnaeus

  3. Taxonomy • What are the seven steps of the taxonomy ladder? • 1. Kingdom • 2. Phylum • 3. Class • 4. Order • 5. Family • 6. Genus • 7. Species HINT: Kings Play Chess On Fine Grain Sand

  4. The 5 Recognized Kingdoms • Monera- One celled organisms • Protista- Slightly more advanced (multi-cell) • Fungi- Fungi or mold • Plantae- ALL plant forms • Animalia- sponges, reptiles, insects, birds, mammals and other animals

  5. Classification: • Phylum: Chordata-animals with backbones • Class: Aves­ - Birds Mammalia - hair or fur covered bodies, live birth, young animals milk from mothers Osteichthyes – bony fish • Order: Artiodactyla – even-toed, hoofed animals (cow, sheep, goat, pig) Perissodactyla – odd-toed, hoofed animals (horse) Carnivora – meat eaters (cat, dog)

  6. Let’s see if we can make the match!! Common Names: Scientific Names: • 1. Hog • 2. Cattle • 3. Sheep • 4. Chicken • 5. Horse • 6. Dog • 7. Cat • 8. Hamster • 9. Llama • 10. Rabbit • Ovisaries • Susscrofa • Gallus domesticus • Feliscatus • Cricetuscricetus • Lama glama • Equuscaballus • Canisfamiliaria • Bos Taurus / Bosindicus • Oryctolaguscuniculus

  7. Livestock Classifications: HOG Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Class = Mammalia Order = Artiodactyla Family = Suidae Genus= Sus Species = Scrofa

  8. Livestock Classifications Cattle Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Class = Mammalia Order = Artiodactyla Family = Bovidae Genus = Bos Species = Taurus or indicus

  9. Livestock Classifications Sheep Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Class = Mammalia Order = Artiodactyla Family = Bovidae Genus = Ovis Species = Aries

  10. Livestock Classifications Horses Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Class = Mammalia Order = Perissodactyla Family = Equidae Genus = Equus Species = caballus

  11. Small Animal Classifications: Dog Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Class = Mammalia Order = Carnivora Family = Canidae Genus = Canis Species = Familiaria

  12. Small Animal Classifications: Cat Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Chess = Mammalia Order = Carnivora Family = Felidae Genus = Felis Species = Catus

  13. Small Animal Classification: Rabbit Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Class = Mammalia Order = Lagomorpha Family = Leporidae Genus = Oryctolagus Species = Cuniculus

  14. Small Animal Classifications: Chicken Kingdom = Animalia Phylum = Chordata Class = Aves Order = Galliformes Family = Phasianidae Genus = Gallus Species = domesticus

  15. How similar are we to chimps? Chimp (bonobo) Human • Kingdom: Animalia • Phylum: Chordata • Class: Mammalia • Order: Primates • Family: Hominidae • Genus: Pan • Species: paniscus • Kingdom: Anamalia • Phylum: Chordata • Class: Mammalia • Order: Primates • Family: Hominidae • Genus: Homo • Species: sapiens
