This is an excellent resource for learning classification of animals! Includes all taxonomic nomenclature, descriptions of classifications, geographic range, natural history, conservation/ biodiversity, economic benefits, references, photographs, and image sources. There is also a page where one can listen to frog calls and angry cries of the big brown bat. Included are U of M Bio 108 lecture notes and handouts. Good test questions for AP biology. Excellent resource for taxonomy!

TreeView

TreeView is a simple graphics program for displaying phylogenies on Apple Macintosh and Windows PCs. This software, which is free to download, offers teachers a unique way to teach classification and taxonomy by having students create their own taxonomic trees on a computer. Highly recommended!!
