Four-limbed (with a few exceptions, such as snakes) animals constituting the superclass Tetrapoda. It includes existing and extinct amphibians, reptiles (including dinosaurs and birds), and mammals. Tetrapods evolved from a group of animals known as the Tetrapodomorpha which, in turn, evolved from ancient Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fishes) around 390 million years ago in the middle Devonian period; their forms were transitional between lobe-finned fishes and the four-limbed tetrapods. |
