The best basis for classifying a new species of animal is DNA comparison, as it allows for precise analysis of genetic relationships. This method provides accurate insights into how closely related the new species is to existing ones, which can differ significantly in appearance and behavior. Other factors, like diet and habitat, are less reliable for classification.
