Show transcript
Taxonomists describe thousands and thousands of new living species every year.
New species must be described in detail, including which features make it similar and different to close relatives.
Species are always identified by both a generic name and a species name.
Species names are written in Latin, but many species names are based on words from other languages, and are Latinized.
