Let's evaluate each of the statements regarding the classification of Esox lucius (Northern Pike) under the Linnaean system:
1. **Esox is the kingdom of the animal.**
- **False.** "Esox" is the genus, not the kingdom. The kingdom for all animals, including Esox lucius, is Animalia.
2. **The Northern Pike is the only animal with the name Esox lucius.**
- **False.** While Esox lucius specifically refers to the Northern Pike, the genus "Esox" contains multiple species. Hence, there are other animals within the same genus.
3. **Esox lucius shows the domain of the animal.**
- **False.** "Esox lucius" represents the species and genus. Domains are a higher level of classification and are not represented in a binomial name. For example, Eukarya is the domain for this organism.
4. **Esox is the species because the species is always capitalized in a scientific name.**
- **False.** In scientific nomenclature, the genus name (Esox) is capitalized, while the species name (lucius) is not. Thus, Esox is the genus, not the species.
In summary, all four statements are **false** regarding the classification of Esox lucius.
