Biologists no longer use Aristotle's system for classifying animals because Carolus Linnaeus invented a better system (known as taxonomy) which has replaced the previous Aristotelian system.
The system of Aristotle used the habitat and physical structure of an organism to classify it. Linnaeus also used the physical structure of an organism to classify it, but he also took into account the structural similarities of different organisms in classifying them.

Aristotle classified animals according to their location, and plants according to their stems. Linnaeus, on the other hand, classified organisms according to their form and structure using a seven-level hierarchial system. However, Linnaeus' system was more accurate, being that Aristotle's system of classification was too general and organisms could be placed into more than one category.
