About Classification of Species
As an observer of this environment, I can only bring to it what I already know of my own life and world to this work. Most animal classification is based on what you might know as Biological Classification following Linnaean taxonomy – in which organisms are placed into orders and kingdoms based on familiar traits. In some cases I might refer to certain organisms as something they might resemble more than most. For example I might refer to something as a large arthropod because it shares characteristics with what I might be familiar with as an arthropod in my own life. This does not, however, make my observation concrete, as I am only able to observe most organisms from a distance and am not able perform biopsy to determine such claims.
