   First,  determine  the  characteristics  that  encompass  all  these  animals  namely  :
                            vertebrates / spine.
                           After that, what you do is eliminate one by one.
                           The first ones eliminated were: fish mujahir. Why ? Because the mujahir fish are
                            the only animals that don't have lungs (but gills).
                           So that on the second branch write: "breathe with the lungs" as dividing the second
                            branch.
                           The remaining rabbits, cows and horses.
                           Who will be eliminated next? Of course cats, because among the three animals that
                            do  not  breed  only  cats.  So  that  the  cat  will  become  the  second  branch  in  the
                            cladogram.
                           The division  between the cat  and the next branch is  "ruminate"  (ind.:  memamah
                            biak).
                           What remains are cows and horses.
                           Which  will  be  eliminated  next?  is  something  special  that  1  has  over  the  other,
                            between a cow and a horse.

                        Try  to  find  the  difference  between  a  cow  and  a  horse  that  looks  and  becomes  its
                        specialty !

                         Yes ! cows have horns and horses don't.
                         So after this you can use which animal will be eliminated. If you use horns as the last
                         barrier then the horse will be eliminated first.

                         The results of the cladogram are something like this.


                                                          horse
                            mujahir        cat                                    cow
                            fish

                                                                                horned

                                                                        ruminate


                                                                have lungs


                                                     vertebrate


                      If you are presented with a cladogram and asked to read it then it is as follows :
                      Example : based on the cladogram above, what are the characteristics of a horse ?
                      So what you see is the following section.
