In [[biology]], a '''species''' is one of the basic units of biological classification (see the diagram at the side - a [[genus]] contains one or more species, etc.) A usable definition of the word "species" and reliable methods of identifying particular species are essential for stating and testing biological theories and for measuring [[biodiversity]]. A species consists of individual organisms which are very similar in appearance, anatomy, physiology and genetics. Evolutionists assume this is due to having relatively recent common ancestors. Traditionally, multiple examples of a proposed species must be studied for unifying characters before it can be regarded as a species.

The commonly used names for types of animal in English and many other languages often do not correspond to species. For example: [[dog| dogs]] are a sub-species of [[wolf]]; but the word "[[deer]]" refers to a family of 34 species, such as the [[Red Deer| red deer]] and [[Mule Deer| mule deer]].
