Answer
The binomial system of classification, first deisgned by Carl Linnaeus, is the "two-named" system (which is what binomial means). Is is the genus and specie of an animal, ie; Tursiops truncatus for the bottlenosed dolphin. The names are mostly in latin and are designed so that biologists and zoologists and botanists worldwide can be positive they are in reference to the same animal.
