	biology - Lama (genus) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Lama, the modern genus name for a small group of closely allied animals, which, before the Spanish conquest of the Americas, were the only domesticated ungulates of the continent.
		The animals of the genus Lama are, with the two species of true camels, the sole existing representatives of a very distinct section of the Artiodactyla or even-toed ungulates, called Tylopoda, or "bump-footed," from the peculiar bumps on the soles of their feet, on which they tread.
		The discoveries of a vast and previously unsuspected extinct fauna of the American continent of the Tertiary period, as interpreted by the palaeontologists Leidy, Cope, and Marsh, has thrown a flood of light upon the early history of this family, and upon its relations to other mammals.

	Genus Information - TextSheet.com
		In biology, a genus (plural genera) is a grouping in the classification of living organisms having one or more related or morphologically similar species.
		The specimen used to describe this species is kept as the holotype in a zoological museum or a herbarium to be available for further study.
		A genus name in one kingdom is allowed to be the same as a genus or other taxon name in another kingdom.

	GENUS FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The type genus of a taxon is usually the first genus to be named and described.
		The genus and these higher taxa are typified by a specimen that shows the characteristics of the genus.
		For instance, ''Anura'' is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae and the order of frogs; ''Aotus'' is the genus of golden peas and night_monkeys; ''Oenanthe'' is the genus of wheatears and water_dropworts, and ''Prunella'' is the genus of accentors and self-heal.

	GENUS - Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A genus is not necessarily the lowest definable group of species, for it may often be divided into several subgenera.
		Note: Thus in the animal kingdom the lion, leopard, tiger, cat, and panther are species of the Cat kind or genus, while in the vegetable kingdom all the species of oak form a single genus.
		{Subaltern genus} (Logic), a genus which may be a species of a higher genus, as the genus denoted by quadruped, which is also a species of mammal.

	101 Taxonomy - www.101science.com
		Genus, in biology, category of classification of living things; specifically, a group of species (see Species and Speciation) closely related in structure and evolutionary origin.
		Classification, in biology, identification, naming, and grouping of organisms into a formal system based on similarities such as internal and external anatomy, physiological functions, genetic makeup, or evolutionary history.
		New molecular biology techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction, which permits the easy analysis and comparison of DNA structures, enabled American microbiologist Carl Woese to determine that a group of organisms formerly classified as bacteria actually belong to a separate taxon.

	Mouse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A mouse is a mammal that belongs to one of numerous species (biology)species of small rodents in the genus (biology)genus ''Mus'' and various related genera of the family (biology)family Muridæ/ (Old World Mice).
		It is found in nearly all countries and, as the laboratory mouse, serves as an important model organism in biology; it is also a popular pet.
		Mice are very common experimental animals in biology and psychology primarily because they are mammals, and thus share a high degree of homology with humans, but can be manipulated in ways that would be considered unethical to do with humans.

	genus - definition from Biology-Online.org
		(biology) taxonomic group containing one or more species.
		The taxonomic classication used as a prefix to a species, such as the genus HOMO sapiens.
		Organisms sharing the same genus share many similarities but cannot produce fertiles offspring if not reproducing with a member of the same species.

	Genus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A generic name in one kingdom is allowed to bear the same name as a genus or other taxon name in another kingdom.
		For instance, Anura is a genus of plants as well as the order of frogs; Aotus is both a pea and a monkey; Oenanthe and Oenanthe are genera of birds and plants respectively, as are Prunella and Prunella.
		Invertebrates are in the same kingdom as the platypus, Animalia, so that name could not be used for a second animal genus.

		The Swedish scientist, Carolus von Linnaeus, is credited with introducing binomial nomenclature and hierarchical classification as an organized way of naming and describing organisms and their relationships to one another.
		In the binomial nomenclature system, genus and speciesâ”just two namesâ”replace the long string of words used in the polynomial system.
		In the binomial system, genus is always a noun, underlined (or italicized), and capitalized; species is a descriptive term, underlined (or italicized), and not capitalized.

		Systematics of Genus: As much as possible make clear the phylogenetic position of the animal that you have been assigned.
		Biology of Genus: On the basis of the fossil specimen and any close, similar relatives what can be said about this animal.
		The demonstration of the accessing of primary information is to include a photocopy of the first page of a journal article dealing specifically with your species (reviews will generally not be acceptable).

	Hominid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Hominids''' ('''Hominidae''') are a biological family which includes humans, extinct species of humanlike creatures and the other '''great apes: chimpanzees and bonobos (genus ''Pan (biology)Pan''), gorillas, and orangutan/s (genus ''Pongo'').
		Originally the group was restricted to humans and their extinct relatives, with the other great apes being placed in a separate family, the Pongidae.
		Some researchers go so far as to include chimpanzees and gorillas in the genus ''Homo (genus)Homo/'' along with humans, but most genetic evidence suggests the relationships as shown here.

	Raven - Pictures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)

Many large fl birds of the genus Corvus are called ravens.

Other birds in the same genus are the smaller crows, jackdaws, and rooks.

With its fl plumage, croaking call, and carrion-eating, the Raven was considered a bird of ill omen long before Edgar Allan Poe's poem The Raven.
