This type is for individual, non-human, organisms, such as household pets, animal performers, racehorses, even named plants. If you are looking for the type to use for classifications of organisms (genus, species, etc.), use Organism Classification.If an organism is deceased, information about the date and cause of death can be entered after adding the Deceased Organism type. If you want to record ownership information, add the Owned animal type.Organism lets you give the scientific organism type of the organism. For example, Buddy has organism type Dog (canis lupus familiaris). It might seem that the property should be named "Organism species" instead of "Organism type", but you don't always know the exact species. For example, you may know that a particular animal is a Penguin (a biological Order) without knowing the exact species, such as Emperor Penguin. Also, sometimes you know more detail for an animal. For example, you may know the subspecies such as Dog, and not just the general species Grey Wolf. [ - ]
