Zoology mnemonics are used to memorize the scientific classification applied in zoology.
For example, the phrase King Penguins congregate on frozen ground sometimes,[1] has the first letter of each word of the mnemonic corresponding in order to the first letter of the descending order of scientific classification.
| Mnemonic | Zoology term |
|---|---|
| King | Kingdom |
| Penguins | Phylum |
| Congregate | Class |
| On | Order |
| Frozen | Family |
| Ground | Genus |
| Sometimes | Species |
Another zoology mnemonic, Keep pond clean or frogs get sick, is a phrase commonly used as a shorter alternative.
