Animal Families and Genera - TSV
Animal families and genera are important taxonomic ranks in biological classification. Family is positioned below Order and above Genus, grouping related genera together. Genus is positioned above Species, classifying closely related species. In scientific nomenclature, family names end with '-idae' and genus names are Latin nouns. For example, the cat family (Felidae) includes the genera Felis (cats) and Panthera (big cats).
