The Mystery Of Animal Classification

Zdrs: 1
Think of it like a family tree, but for all animals!
Oh look at that cute dog! He's just like you!
So where do we fit?
Excuse me!! He is not like me AT ALL!
Both you and I are in the Kingdom Animalia, we are animals
Let's go for a walk McFatty!
Look Ladders!!
So humans and cats are in the same level??!

At the top level yes, as we go down you will see more differences
But why not? You both have fur, tails and four legs!

Cats and dogs are mammals, they have fur, warm-blooded.
So they are the same right?
Not quite, cats are from the family Felidae, dogs are Canidae
So like cousins! Related but not the same?
EXACTLY!

Scientists study DNA to see how closely species are related.
So DNA is an instruction for every living thing?
YES! Even if two animals look similar, their DNA can tell us if they are really related

Classification helps scientists study diseases, protect endangered animals and even develop medicines.

Alright! Let's go home before you start again
