Lesson 5: Family Essay

 

Find two species that are in the same Family. You can find this out by checking the box at the bottom of each species page. Then, write a short essay explaining why you think scientists put these two species in the same Family. How are they the same, how are they different? You might look at things like size, shape, color, habitat, associations, relationships, eating habits, behaviors, or anything that might explain why the two species were grouped together. Also, why weren't they put in the same Genus? If they are in the same Genus, then why do you think so? Feel free to use resources besides this website.
