The video tutorial, led by Miss Judith Maravelias, introduces the hierarchical taxonomic system of classification, a method proposed by Carlos Linnaeus in the 18th century. It explains the process of organizing organisms into a hierarchy based on physical traits, from domain to species. The tutorial covers each taxonomic rank, including domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species, and discusses how organisms are classified and named using binomial nomenclature. The example of a mountain lion is used to illustrate the classification process.
