15 Examples of the Animal Kingdom

To study nature, a series of taxonomic categories are used that divide the living beings in groups. Each of these categories groups beings that have some characteristics in common.

A traditional series of taxonomic categories is the following (from the most general to the most particular):

Domain - Kingdom - Phylum or division - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species

That is to say that the kingdoms are very extensive subdivisions.
