Alien Taxonomy | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
In the year 2525:
Humans, after hundreds of years of constant effort, have successfully polluted all bodies of water on Earth. As a result, almost all previously known species of plants, animals, and other life forms have become extinct. Through natural selection, genetic engineering, and selective breeding programs, a portion of the Earth has been successfully repopulated. The following organisms are all that remain:
Your Assignment:
As an alien taxonomist, it is your responsibility to classify these existing organisms.
