Taxonomic Hierarchy

This is how we name living things. Various disciplines use slightly different systems for ranking species on the hierarchy, for instance there is an "International Code of Zoological Nomenclature" which is different from the "International Code of Botanical Nomenclature", but most codes at least include something along the lines of:

Kingdom phylum class order family genus species

kinky plush chairs obfuscate furry gassy speakers
killer purple clocks open frail gleeful sponges
