In general, a species is a group of similar organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. More specifically, species can be defined as a group that has similar morphology, DNA, geographic distribution, and occupies the same ecological niche.

The official definition for the word species is "a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g., Homo sapiens."
