Binomial Classification is needed because in distinguished different kinds of species within a larger family of relatives. For example, Big cats fit into one large animal group, however in order to differentiate the tiger from the lion a binomial name is needed. The first part of the name is the "genus" which is the animal category or group of close relatives. Panthera Leo is the scientific or binomial name for the lion and Panthera tigirs is the name for the tiger. This helps scientists see if the animal is part of the same animal family or not. "Panthera" is the overall species relevance and the "leo" or "tigris" distinguishes the specific species.
