Animals are multicellular i.e. organisms with multiple cells which grow to take a particular shape. Usually, all animals, whether wild or pets, can move independently and without any support. They consume other living organisms for food. They get their name from the Latin term animal, which means soul. In biological terms, the word animal means all categories which belong to the Kingdom Animalia, which includes creatures which range from humans to insects.

Animal Classification

Classifying animals basically means dividing them into two main groups - vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have a backbone, while invertebrates are those which don't. In all, there are more than 800,000 animal species in the Kingdom Animalia and most of them are included in the phylum of Arthropod i.e. invertebrates. Usually, people don't think of earthworms or jellyfish as animals, but actually they are, thereby making the animal kingdom classification extremely huge.
Each living organism is classified into Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species. There are basically five kingdoms. They are listed in the following table.

Kingdom Inclusions
Animalia Animals
Plantae Plants
Protista Single-celled organisms
Fungi Yeast, molds, mushrooms, etc.
Monera Bacteria

The next classification is the phylum or phyla. There are different phyla in each kingdom. Chordata is the most well-known phyla, as it includes all animals which has a backbone, which includes all birds, fish, mammals, amphibians, insects, snails, etc. Some other names of phyla are listed below.
Phyla Description

Echinodermata Starfish (marine)
Ctenophora Comb Jellies
Porifera Sponge
Cnidaria Jellyfish
Arthropoda Insects
Nematodes Parasitic worms
Annelida Worms
Platyhelminthes Flatworms
Bryozoa Moss animals

After phyla comes the class. The class of the animal kingdom is broken down into the following groups.
Group Inclusions

Mammalia Mammals
Amphibia Amphibians
Reptilia Reptiles
Aves Birds

The following table is a brief example of how the class is further divided into order, family, and genus. Since the classification is very vast, only a few examples have been taken to show the representation.
Group Order
Mammalia
Classification of Animals for Kids
When you teach kids of how to classify animals, it may not be possible to explain it all in one go. So while explaining, you can use the bottom up instead of the top down approach, starting from the species and ending with the Kingdom. For example, you can ask them to list the common trait between cats, dogs, dolphins, whales, and humans. The answer to that is milk. All these animals feed their young milk when they are born.

Animal classification

Explanation:

  • Animal classification is a system of grouping animals by their similar characteristics. How are animals classified, and why is this important? Dive into this lesson to learn more.Classification means to organize things according to common characteristics.
  • There are a large number of living creatures right now. There are some which are even yet to be found. These living beings that are known to man, comprehensively incorporate creatures, plants, microorganisms and so forth. Every one of them show extraordinary decent variety. However, there are a few qualities that are comparable between gatherings of life forms and this is the thing that ties them together.  
  • Order of creatures encourages us to comprehend their qualities, just as their disparities with different life forms.  
  • It is additionally separated into various phyla. These are only divisions in which creatures/living beings with similar qualities are incorporated under them. Aside from the essential distinctive highlights of the Animal Kingdom (Eukaryotic, Multicellular, without a cell divider and heterotrophic); every phylum has life forms that have regular qualities. In the arrangement of creatures diagram, they move from the least difficult to the most intricate.
