Species

The video tutorial introduces the concept of species as one of the seven major biological classifications used to organize living organisms. It explains the hierarchy from kingdom to species, using horses as an example. The tutorial highlights the specificity of species, emphasizing that organisms within a species can reproduce. It also discusses the vast diversity of species, noting that biologists have identified around 2 million species but continue to discover more, especially among insects. The video concludes by acknowledging the ongoing nature of scientific discovery and the potential for changes in classification as knowledge expands.
