based on the diagram, which taxonomic levels do the giant panda and red fox share? choose three (3).
□ animalia
□ carnivora
□ chordata
□ mammalia
□ ursus
□ ursidae

Explanation:

• Animalia: Both are in the Kingdom Animalia as shown in the diagram.
• Chordata: They are in the Phylum Chordata (both have a notochord at some stage in development).
• Mammalia: They are in the Class Mammalia (both are mammals - have hair, mammary glands etc.).
• Giant panda is in Family Ursidae and Genus Ailuropoda (not Ursus), while red fox is in Family Canidae. Giant panda is in Order Carnivora but red fox is also in Order Carnivora. Wait, no - looking at the diagram:
• The Giant Panda is in Class Mammalia, Phylum Chordata, Kingdom Animalia. The Red Fox is in Class Mammalia, Phylum Chordata, Kingdom Animalia. The Order for Giant Panda in the diagram is Carnivora (but actually taxonomically Giant Panda is in Order Carnivora but is a folivore - but based on the diagram).

Answer:

A. Animalia, C. Chordata, D. Mammalia
