	=== What is taxonomy? ===		== What is taxonomy? ==

	All living beings are categorized and classified into taxons. Every animal belongs to a species that has been named with at least a latin name. Some animals also have common names in various languages. You probably know, what a pig / cochon / cochino / Schwein is. That's a <i>Sus</i>. Yes, the pinkish one, the big brown one, a mini pig, Asian pigs living in the rain forest and European Wild boars, they are all member of the <i>Sus</i> tree. <i>Sus scrofa</i>, the wild boar, was bred into several domestic species, all called <i>Sus scrofa (ssp.) domesticus</i>. Races and breeds do not get their own species classification. If you're looking at a pink pig, that's probably a <i>Sus scrofa domesticus var. American Yorkshire</i>, that means it is a variation on the species.		All living beings are categorized and classified into taxons.

	But what is a pig really? Well, in taxonomy it is first and foremost a member of the taxon <i>Animalis</i> (Kingdom), then a member of <i>Chordates</i>(Phylum), something to do with how the animal is built in larval and adult stages, and then a <i>Vertebrate</i>(Subphylum), which means it has a spine and a cranium. It is a <i>Mammal</i> (Class), a <i>Therian</i> (Subclass), it is not a marsupial but a <i>Placental Mammal</i> (Infraclass) and as a member of <i>Laurasiatheria</i> (Superorder) it originated from the super continent Laurasia, rather than Gondwana. It is also even-toed (Order) and a member of <i>Suids</i> (Suborder) which are then broken down into tribes, genuses and finally species. And there you have it, that's the taxonomy that defines, what a pig is.		But what is a pig really?
