All land mammals are tetrapods. What does that mean?

The word "Tetrapoda" means "four legs" in Greek. Amphibians, reptiles (including dinosaurs and birds) and mammals are the major groups of the Tetrapoda. Tetrapods include all land-living vertebrates, such as frogs, turtles, hawks, and lions.

I hope this helps you.
