The animal kingdom is classified on the basis of levels of organisation, body symmetry, germinal layers, nature of coelom, segmentation and presence of notochord.

In accordance with the Linnaeus method, scientists classify the animals, as they do the plants, on the basis of shared physical characteristics. They place them in a hierarchy of groupings, beginning with the kingdom animalia and proceeding through phyla, classes, orders, families, genera and species.
