Quran 24:45 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
And God has created every beast that is every animal from fluid from a sperm-drop. Among them are some that creep upon their bellies such as snakes and reptiles and among them are some that walk on two feet such as human beings and birds and among them are some that walk on four such as four-legged beasts and cattle. God creates whatever He will. Truly God has power over all things.

And Allah created every animate being from water*. Some walk, moving or crawling with their bellies touching the ground -worms, reptiles- others are biped who walk on two feet -man and some animals- and others are quadruped which walk on four feet –mammals- Allah creates what He will, Allah is indeed Qadirun (Omnipotent) over all things
Quran 24:45 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah's Power in His creation of the Animals
Allah mentions His complete and almighty power to create all the different kinds of animals with their various forms, colors and ways of moving and stopping, from one kind of water.
فَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَى بَطْنِهِ
( Of them there are some that creep on their bellies, ) like snakes and so on;
وَمِنهُمْ مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَى رِجْلَيْنِ
( and some that walk on two legs, ) like humans and birds;
وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ
( and some that walk on four, ) like cattle and all kinds of animals.
Allah says:
يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ
( Allah creates what He wills. ) meaning by His power, because what He wills happens and what He does not will does not happen.
So he says:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
( Verily, Allah is able to do all things. )

( Allah createth what He will ) as He wills. ( Lo! Allah is Able to do all things ) whether this concerns creation or other things.

We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
