Usually the species tags are constructed as shown below, but not all levels are always present (especially for fictional species, which are not in the real life classification).


 
○ highest level group for both fictional and real animals (mammal, bird, reptile)
 
○○ high level group in the rank of order/suborder/family (dinosaur, canine, feline, rodent)
 
○○○ genus (marten) or common name for species from different genera (fox, badger)
 
○○○○ species (red fox, golden eagle, European badger)
 
and sometimes, if a species has them:  
○○○○○ breed or prominent color morph^*^ (husky, maine coon, silver fox)

^*
- if a species has any prominent ones^


 
In case of the more popular species you should not be worried about all levels when tagging, the implications adding necessary tags should be already in place. For example:
 
![full](https://i.imgur.com/K9D1fgq.png!
)  
When adding the tag "[husky":](/tags/husky) to a picture there will be also "dog, canine, mammal" automatically added to that picture when the changes are applied because this tag implies those three other tags.


 
There are no tags like "avian" or "scalie" in use (they are aliased to "bird" and "reptile" respectively). Fictional species should be tagged with what they are based on + "[fictional species":](/tags/original+species).


 
Examples:


 
mammal -> canine -> fox -> red fox
 
mammal -> feline -> cat -> maine coon
 
reptile -> snake -> rattlesnake -> timber rattlesnake
 
bird + fictional species -> gryphon -> blue jay gryphon
 
reptile + fictional species -> dragon -> night fury


 
"[mammals":](/tags/mammal

"[alien":](/tags/alien

"[robot":](/tags/alien

"[animate machine":](/tags/animate+machine) - living machine


 
"[fictional species":](/tags/original+species) - for species that don't exist in real life, original species, mythological species etc.


 
"[species needed":](/tags/species+needed) - when the character is of some species, but you just don't know which one.


 
"[ambiguous species":](/tags/ambiguous+species) - when the species can't be determined, e.g. because the character is seen at extreme close-up or is drawn with no details.

○○○○ species (red fox, golden eagle, European badger)

In case of the more popular species you should not be worried about all levels when tagging, the implications adding necessary tags should be already in place. For example: when adding the tag "husky":/tags/husky to a picture there will be also "dog, canine, mammal" automatically added when the changes are applied.

There are no tags like "avian" or "scalie" in use (they are aliased to "bird" and "reptile" respectively). Fictional species should be tagged with what they are based on + "fictional species":/tags/original+species.

Examples:

mammal -> canine -> fox -> red fox
reptile -> snake -> rattlesnake -> timber rattlesnake
bird + fictional species -> gryphon -> blue jay gryphon
reptile + fictional species -> dragon -> night fury

• "mammals":/tags/mammal
•• "canine":/tags/canine, "feline":/tags/feline, "marsupial":/tags/marsupial, etc.

• "fictional species":/tags/original+species - for species that don't exist in real life, original species, mythological species etc.

• "species needed":/tags/species+needed - when the character is of some species, but you just don't know which one.

• "ambiguous species":/tags/ambiguous+species - when the species can't be determined, e.g. because the character is seen at extreme close-up or is drawn with no details.

Usually the species tags are constructed as shown below, but not all levels are always present (especially for fictional species, which are not in the real life classification).

○ highest level group for both fictional and real animals (mammal, bird, reptile)
○○ high level group in the rank of order/suborder/family (dinosaur, canine, feline, rodent)
○○○ genus (marten) or common name for species from different genera (fox, badger)
○○○○ species (red fox, golden eagle, European badger)

○○ high level group (bird, reptile, dinosaur)
○○○ medium level group in the rank of order/suborder/family (canine, feline, rodent)
○○○○ genus (marten) or common name for species from different genera (fox, badger)
○○○○○ species (red fox, golden eagle, European badger)

In case of the more popular species you should not be worried about all levels when tagging, the implications adding necessary tags should be already in place.

Examples:

mammal -> canine -> fox -> red fox
scalie -> reptile -> snake -> rattlesnake -> timber rattlesnake
avian -> gryphon -> blue jay gryphon
scalie -> dragon -> night fury

Usually the species tags are constructed as shown below, but not all levels are always present (especially for fictional species, which are not in the real life classification).

○ highest level group for both fictional and real animals (mammal, avian, scalie)
○○ high level group (bird, reptile, dinosaur)
○○○ medium level group in the rank of order/suborder/family (canine, feline, rodent)
○○○○ genus (marten) or common name for species from different genera (fox, badger)
○○○○○ species (red fox, golden eagle, European badger)
