But I have no idea what the full hierarchy of classification is above Genus and species. Kingdom Plant or Animal. Not a Fungus, Monera, Protista,
Mr Whitaker did not see this coming after his 1969 “kingdoms of life” proposal. Science May need to revisit the classification criteria. Even add one for MAGA, what the hell are they?

Canis saliva. I love it. Are those pot plants behind the puppy or part of the organism?
