Which animals are lions and tigers related
to? 
A The scientific conventions for naming living organisms were established by the 18
th
century Swedish botanist, physician and zoologist, Carl Linnaeus, who developed 
binomial nomenclature, a two-word system for naming every species of animal and 
plant. The first word identified the genus, and the second word is the specific name. 
B As an illustration, lions belong to the genus Panthera, and their specific name is leo
Hence the species is classified as Panthera leo. Their relation the tiger, on the other 
hand, is named Panthera tigris. The two-word names indicate the relationship in a way 
that lion and tiger do not. 
Tip:
You should read the headings before reading the text to focus your mind on the 
main ideas you need to look for.
