Genus and species names
Panthera is the genus and onca is the species.
The binomial nomenclature system is the system of naming species of living organisms. To write a species name, you must know its genus and its species. So, for example, a human is Homo sapien. The genus is Homo, and the species is sapien. The genus name is always capitalized.
The first name in a scientific name represents the genus of the organism, which groups species based on shared characteristics. The second name represents the species within that genus, distinguishing it from other closely related species. Together, the two names form a unique identifier for each species.
Genus and Species
The correct way to write a scientific name of an organism is to use binomial nomenclature, which consists of the genus name (written uppercase) followed by the species name (written lowercase), both in italics or underlined. For example, Homo sapiens is the scientific name for humans.
