Here are some examples of Linnean taxonomy:

Domain Eukaryota
Includes all eukaryotes -- organisms that have complex cells with distinct nuclei. Only Bacteria and Archaea fall outside of this domain.

Kingdom Animalia
Includes all animals -- multicellular eukaryotes that need to eat food for energy. All animals are mobile for part of their lives.

Phylum Chordata
Includes all chordates -- animals possessing a notochord. In most cases, the notochord is replaced before birth by the backbone.

Class Mammalia
Includes all mammals -- air-breathing chordates that feed their young on milk. The jaw is made up of a single bone.

Order Cetacea
Includes all cetaceans (whales and dolphins) -- marine mammals that have a tail with boneless, horizontal flukes for propulsion.

Family Delphinidae
Includes all dolphins (a subgroup of toothed cetaceans) with beaks and 50-100 vertebrae. The skull lacks a crest.

Genus Delphinus
Includes a few colourful, oceanic dolphins with 40-50 teeth on each side of the jaw. These dolphins form large social groups.

Species D. delphis
Species a single type of dolphin with a V-shape black cape under the dorsal fin and crisscross hourglass patterning on its sides.



Info is from a book called Oceans.

Definitely very useful taxonomic examples. Thanks for the share! :)

The Cetacea order seems very interesting. Definitely one of the most interesting mammal lines in consideration to whales, dolphins, and so on!
