All classification scheme are based on hierarchy of groups of
animals.
A taxon is the name given to group or category in a
classification system.
The largest taxon in the classification scheme is called a
kingdom. The kingdom is divided into smaller units called
phyla. A phylum can be subdivided into classes, each class
into orders, each order into families, each family into
genera, and each genus into species. The smallest unit in the
hierarchy is the species.
