Oh, the duplicate entries (like Rays) have one that's normal taxonomical placement (Rays are a clade of Sharks), and another that's shown here in italics directly under Fish because it's placed for convenience. I already have a sense that some of these clades are overkill (especially the long-winded Greco-Latin-named ones), but I'm also a little biased because I've actually been studying stuff like this since I was little. :P

Okay, if I had to guess (hiding the italicized entries)... And that becomes: And for each of those axed categories, all their entries revert into the parent non-axed categories.

Are there any other listings either of you would consider hypertechnical?
 * My gut wants to keep Placentals, and then add a Marsupials sister category if we get more than just that one marsupial character under Mammals.
 * I was thinking of keeping Euarchontoglirans as a category, but renaming it to the less technical Supraprimates (synonym for the same clade), in honor of Irma pointing out in that one episode that humans use rats for biological research because they're closely related to humans&mdash;and that's why. :P
 * I'm not 100% confident about axing Toxicoferans, because it educationally includes snakes along with the venomous lizards...but it's also a hypertechnical term most people have never heard of...which is why I tentatively crossed it out.
 * I want to keep Panthers, and indeed any category of species so closely related that their real-life versions can actually cross-breed&mdash;this is why lions and tigers can breed sterile ligers, and sheep and goats (as Caprids) can also naturally cross-breed, and so forth.
