Especies

The video tutorial introduces the concept of species as one of the seven main categories used to classify living organisms. It explains the biological classification system, detailing categories such as kingdom, class, order, family, genus, and species. The tutorial uses horses as an example to illustrate how organisms are classified, emphasizing that species is the most specific category. It discusses the ability of species to reproduce and highlights the vast diversity of species, noting that biologists have identified around 2 million species but acknowledge the list is incomplete. The video concludes by emphasizing the ongoing nature of biological discoveries and how our understanding of species continues to evolve.
