There are many ways in which you can classify an unknown species. To classify an unknown species you can compare it to similar species.
Scientists classify an unknown species through a process called taxonomy, which involves several steps. They first observe and describe the organism's physical characteristics, behaviors, and habitats. Then, they compare these traits to known species using morphological, genetic, and ecological data to determine its relationships and place within the existing classification system. Finally, they may assign it a scientific name following the rules of binomial nomenclature, ensuring it fits within the broader hierarchical structure of life.
We will classify this new species as a mammal.How do you classify this, Mister Burns?
It they are unknown how would we know if they are unknown
You can classify different species of animals based on their common characteristics, such as physical features or behaviors.
genus and species
Taxonomy
Zebras and Horses are two different species. So when offspring is produced from a zebra and a horse it produces a cross-breed or hybrid. Hybrids are infertile and are hard to classify. They are hard to classify because they are both horse and zebra so it is hard to decide which species to classify them as.

The smallest group into which scientists classify living things is a species. A species is a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

naming the species, grouping the species.. and more
Characteristics used to classify a species include physical traits, genetic differences, behavior, habitat, and evolutionary history. Scientists often use a combination of these characteristics to determine how species are related and place them into taxonomic groups.
