Tetrapods were animals with four legs and fingers and toes at the end of them.

And to see how birds feed, you can have a look on the next series of videos, The insatiable appetite. Really interesting!
Mammals:
Marsupials are mammals whose babies are not fully developed when born. They complete their development inside the marsupium, as you can see in the next video:
Finally, if you want to review this unit in Spanish, here you have an usefull link where you will also find many activities.
