Lion (Panthera leo) and tiger (Panthera tigris) both belong to which shared taxonomic category?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Same genus Panthera

Answer: A, the same genus Panthera. A scientific name has two parts: the first word is the genus and the second word is the specific epithet. In Panthera leo and Panthera tigris, Panthera is the first and common word, so both animals belong to genus Panthera. The different second parts, leo and tigris, show that they are different species. A is correct because the question asks for the shared category. B is wrong because lion and tiger are not the same species. C is wrong because members of the same genus are placed in the same family, Felidae, rather than different families. D is wrong because they are not described here as the same subspecies. Memory cue: in a two-word scientific name, read the first word for the genus; it begins with a capital letter.
