وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَآبَّةٍۢ مِّن مَّآءٍۢ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَىٰ بَطْنِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَىٰ رِجْلَيْنِ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَىٰٓ أَرْبَعٍۢ ۚ يَخْلُقُ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌۭ
Allah has created every [living] creature from water. And of them are those that move on their bellies, and of them are those that walk on two legs, and of them are those that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

Other Scholars on This Ayah
Tafsir
Scholars largely agree on this ayah
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.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Allah hath created every animal) on the face of the earth (of water) from the water of the male and female. (Of them is (a kind) that goeth upon its belly) like the snake and similar animals (and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs) like human beings and those that are similar to them (and (a kind) that goeth upon four) beasts. (Allah createth what He will) as He wills. (Lo! Allah is Able to do all things) whether this concerns creation or other things.
