Taxonomy

Taxonomy places a species inside its formal scientific classification. Wikipedia gives the giant panda's scientific name as "Ailuropoda melanoleuca," the precise identifier scientists use regardless of what common name a species goes by. This dimension groups species by their exact position in the formal tree of life.
