Home›Taxa›Taxonomic Rank›FamilyBrowse ByFamilyTaxonomic rank sorts taxa by their formal level, such as family, genus or order. Wikipedia states plainly that "Felidae is the family of mammals in the order Carnivora," naming both its own rank and the rank directly above it in the same sentence. This dimension lets a visitor compare taxa that sit at the same formal level of classification.FamilyConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FamilyFilter Results486 entriesCommon
