I think that would be a neat feature!

I'm setting them up now. I realise as I'm doing so it's not quite as simple as on the DTB, because the name category on the ATB includes the genus, but also species and common names. Still might be interesting and useful...

so the most popular non domestic animal is the great white? awesome!

and you are to thank for many of them (with more to come, no doubt)

Yep, I said that.

So, I've just added three Top 100 pages under an Explore menu. Top Animals is based on the Name category, Top Brands is based on Brands category, and Top Groups is based on the Classification category.

Oh Geeze, I musta read that too fast LOL

Looking at, particularly, the Classification top 100, it would be great to have the subcategories under overall  classifications.

So mammals is 441 reviews, but then a flyout with the various mammal groups within. Not sure how easy it is to change categories like that to be subcats within others.

Or even sub-sub-categories. Like how Carnivores (should be 'carnivorans' to avoid confusion with the feeding strategy but whatever) is the largest mammal subcategory (#5 overall!), and dog and cat are #10 and #11 respectively.

So it would show branches:

#1 Mammals (424)
    + Carnivores (125) (if we break down levels like that)
        + Dogs (41)
        + Cats (37)
    + Hoofed animals & kin (not a category right now)
        + Whales & Dolphins (54)
        + Cattle (20)

Or maybe it's just me and I really like databases with lots of subcategories for data analysis...

That might be achievable by placing the categories into a hierarchy, which we don't do (but could). Let me test it out with mammals to see how it works...

Awesome! I'll be honest, it would please my taxonomy brain.

It's not as simple as I thought it might be to generate a list like that on the front end. Even if I nest the taxonomy on the back end, it doesn't appear that way on the front end. It's possible, but not in an 'off-the shelf' way. So, sorry!
