Can two species be members of the same genus and not the same family?

Yes, the systems used for the taxonomic nomenclature of organisms are distinct and independent between kingdoms. The binomial name given to a species must be unique only within the kingdom to which the species belongs. For this reason, no two animals species and no two plant species could share the same name, but one plant and one animal may. Because the domain Eukarya is divided into six kingdoms, there could theoretically be six species with a common binomial (scientific) name.

The scientific name for a baby gibbon is typically referred to as a "gibbon infant," as there isn't a specific distinct scientific name for the young of the species.

Each species' young can be referred to by the species name followed by "infant."
