Table of Classification Labels Classification Level Aardwolf Gray Wolf Coyote Lion Blue Whale Kingdom Animalia Animalia Animalia Animalia Animalia Phylum Chordata Chordata Chordata Chordata Chordata Class Mammalia Mammalia Mammalia Mammalia Mammalia Order Carnivora Carnivora Carnivora Carnivora Cetacea Family Hyaenidae Canidae Canidae Felidae Balenopteridae Genus Proteles Canis Canis Panthera Balaenoptera Species Proteles cristatus Canis lupus Canis latrans Panthera leo Balaenoptera musculus Which of the organisms in the table is least similar to the others? Explain.

Answer 1

I found the exercise on the internet. Attached is the table.

The organism that's the least similar to the others is the Blue Whale. The Blue Whale is the animal, from all of them that is from a different order. As sooner the organism breaks apart from the others in the classification level, the furthest it is from the others that share more classification levels. All the other organisms beside the Blue Whale belong to the carnivora order.

Answer 2

The organism which is least similar to the other animals is the blue whale. This is because it belongs to the order cetacea while the other animals belong to the order carnivora. This means that the other animals are carnivorous in their mode of feeding but blue whale is not.
