Animal classification

[Arbison]

Please settle an argument - what are the zoological classfications - I think there are five?

[Cetti]

Do you mean like: Reptiles, Amphibians, Mammals, Insects and Birds or their latin names?

Or do you mean the classification; class, order, family, genus, species. Generally there are five, but really a Phylum should precede the Class. Then there are many sub-class, -order, -family, -genus, and -species classifications, so any number you pick is right :-)
