Linnaeus was the scientist who developed scientific naming system.
Taxonomy – classifying organisms and assigning scientific names.
Classification is a way to organize living things into groups according to characteristics.
Why use a scientific name?
•Because many organisms have several common names that vary due to region or cultures and it becomes confusing…
Ex. Puma, cougar, panther, mountain lion, ghost cat – all the same animal……But the scientific name stays the same no matter where you go
Ex. Felis concolor is the scientific name for a mountain lion.
How to write a scientific name:
Genus species
Notice only the first letter is capitalized while everything else is lowercase. Both words must be underlined unless written in cursive or italics, then no underline is used.
Comprise scientific name aka binomial nomenclature
Grizzly bear Black bear Giant panda
Red fox Abert squirrel
Coral snake
Sea star
KINGDOM Animalia
PHYLUM Chordata
CLASS Mammalia
ORDER Carnivora
FAMILY Ursidae
GENUS Ursus
SPECIES Ursus arctos
Classification of Ursus ArctosAll encompassing – many organisms at Kingdom level
Only ONE organism at Species level
As you move down the levels, the animals become more and more specific to the level
