Animal Taxonomy? Well... If it fits the KOALAfications

Leopard Gecko Eublepharis macularius Hi! The class my project was assigned to is called “Population” and our unit is called “In/Out” In this unit, we found out about the scientific classification of creatures, within creatures, and how life forms are named. I hope it fits the KOALAifacations for you. For this project, I, as well as my fellow students, have to choose an animal and study its Taxonomy and no, they do not do taxes, but the classification of an animal or animals by their Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The animal I precisely chose is the Leopard or Panther Gecko. A leopard gecko is a type of gecko that lives in the rocky, dry grassland and desert regions of south-Asian Afghanistan, Pakistan, north-west India, and some parts of Iran. Their diet is composed of insects, including scorpions, sometimes they will feed on other lizards, so brothers and sisters watch out, you may become dinner. Taxonomy Name  Taxonomy Explanation
