Requirement
2. How the animal kingdom is classified, and three mammals classified
Required
Explain the classification and where mammals sit in it, then classify three mammals all the way from phylum through species. Seven ranks each, and the species you pick in requirement 3 are the obvious three to use.
Notes and warnings
Note. Three mammals classified from phylum through species, seven ranks each. If you are doing requirement 3(a) or 3(b), pick three you expect to record in the field and the two requirements feed each other.
