Detailed Solution

Taxonomy is a science concerned with the identification, description, and classification of all living things. The taxonomic hierarchy begins with the largest, most inclusive group, known as the Kingdom, and progresses to the most specific levels of classification, which are Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
The art of taxidermy involves mounting (on an armature) or stuffing an animal's body to preserve it for display or scientific study.
Benthos is a broad term used to categorise creatures that are located on, in, or very close to the bottom of bodies of water.
The scientific study of animal behaviour is called ethology, and it often focuses on behaviour in its natural environment and sees behaviour as an adaptive quality that has evolved over time.
