How the system works can be seen when one considers the scientific names of [[wolf|wolves]] and [[dog]]s.  The species name of the grey wolf is ''Canis lupis'', the red wolf is ''Canis rufus'', all the domestic dogs are ''Canis familiaris'' (Some believe the domestic dog is the same as the grey wolf, ''Canis lupus''), the [[coyote]] is ''Canis latrans.''  One can see that the genus ''canus'' includes [[animal]]s that are judged to be separate but quite similar.  ''Canis'' joins ''Homo'' at the class, mammalia because both feed [[milk]] to their young.
