So the process of naming an animal isn't as hard as it sounds. First of all, you need to determine what kind of animal it is. Most new found animals will fit into a genus (remember Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?) and from there it's easy. However, sometimes we find animals that do not fit into one of the classification levels for that kind of animal. For instance, we might find some kind of mammal that doesn't fit into any of the current mammal classes, so we have to create a new one. That's harder. But once you get it into a genus, then you can choose the species name. That's usually not hard. All you do is choose a word that describes that creature in Latin. For instance, auratusis common because it means gold in Latin, and many golden creatures have this for their species name after their genus name. So Dendrobates auratus belongs to the Dendrobates genus and is gold. Many species can have the same species name, but if they have the same species name, they can't have the same genus name and vice-versa.
The classification system for naming an animal is called Linnaean taxonomy, which categorizes organisms into a hierarchy of groups based on shared characteristics. The hierarchy includes Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Each organism is given a unique two-part scientific name, consisting of the genus and species epithet.
Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is credited with developing our modern method of animal classification, known as binomial nomenclature, in the 18th century. He established a system for naming and organizing living organisms based on their physical characteristics and relationships.
Usually the genus and species names are used to identify different organisms.
The classification of an animal refers to the scientific categorization of an organism into a specific group based on its characteristics, traits, and evolutionary relationships. It involves placing the animal into a hierarchical system of classification that includes domains, kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. This classification helps in understanding the relationships between different species and organizing the vast diversity of animal life.
Linnaeus' classification system did not take into account evolutionary relationships among species.
The animal classification system has seven levels, which are kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. These levels help to categorize and organize the diverse range of animal species on Earth based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
scientific classification. taxonomy is the system of naming and classification in science, and nosology is the classification and naming system for medical and psychological phenomena.

Genus & Species are used in binomial nomenclature....two classification naming system. ??
Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is credited with developing our modern method of animal classification, known as binomial nomenclature, in the 18th century. He established a system for naming and organizing living organisms based on their physical characteristics and relationships.
By developing a universal naming classification, Carolus Linnaeus's research allows for a systematic classification for plants. This naming system had removed some erroneous information and streamlined classification for the masses.
taxonomy is the classification of living and non-living things .
Library to orginize books and such other thing in the library, or an animal classification system.
A binomial nomenclature is the two name system of naming living things used in classification. The currently used binomial nomenclature was developed by Linneus.
Carolus Linnaeus was a Swedish botanist who was the first to use Latin for scientific naming of organisms. He wrote a hierarchical classification system for plants and animals using a system of nomenclature.
classification refers to identifying, naming and grouping of organisms into formal system based on similarities of their internal and external structure or evalutionary history RIGHT OUT OF THE BIOLOGY BOOK :D
