  2. How does it work? • There are 7broad levels • Every living thing that we know of fits into one of the Seven levels • Each level gets more specific as fewer organisms fit into any one group

  3. Binomial Nomenclature • Bi means two • Nomen means name • A binomial nomenclature is a classification system using two names to identify an organism

  4. An animal is known by two names… • Canis lupusis the scientific name for a gray wolf. • Canis is the genus name • lupus is the species name • This system uses a binomial nomenclature

  5. Genus… • A genus consists of a group of closely related species • Other animals in the Canisgroup include dogs and coyotes • The genus name is always Capitalized

  6. Species... • A speciesconsists of animals that can mate and produce fertile offspring • Only grey wolves are known as lupus. • The species name is always lowercase
