About
Taxonomy information for 960 different animal species from across the globe is provided in this dataset. Each entry is classified according to its Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Scientific Name, offering a structured hierarchy for biological and zoological analysis. It is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and data scientists interested in animal classification, biodiversity studies, and developing machine learning models for species identification.
Columns
- id: A numerical identifier for each animal entry.
- Kingdom: The highest taxonomic rank; this dataset contains the single value 'Animalia'.
- Phylum: The taxonomic rank below Kingdom (e.g., Chordata, Arthropoda).
- Class: The taxonomic rank below Phylum (e.g., Mammalia, Aves).
- Order: The taxonomic rank below Class (e.g., Carnivora, Artiodactyla).
- Family: The taxonomic rank below Order (e.g., Canidae, Felidae).
- Genus: The taxonomic rank below Family (e.g., Canis, Felis).
- Scientific.Name: The scientific or binomial name for the species (e.g., Canis lupus).
Distribution
This dataset is provided in a single CSV file (
taxonomy.csv) with a size of approximately 89 kB. It contains 960 rows, each representing a unique animal entry, and consists of 8 columns. There are no missing or mismatched values.Usage
- Biological Research: Analysing species distribution across different taxonomic ranks.
- Educational Purposes: Teaching biological classification and the structure of the animal kingdom.
- Data Science & Machine Learning: Creating features for species classification models or for natural language processing tasks related to scientific names.
- Data Visualisation: Generating hierarchical charts and graphs, such as dendrograms or sunburst plots, to illustrate taxonomic relationships.
Coverage
This dataset has a global geographic scope, including taxonomy information for animals from all over the world. It does not contain a specific time range or demographic data, focusing solely on biological classification. The dataset is static and is not expected to be updated.
