While many know tetrapods, it is known that tetrapods are very diverse with their many classes and orders being very diverse, while so, it is shown that only five orders of tetrapods have only one extant species, which are the three mammalian orders Tubulidentata, Microbiotheria, and Platypoda and the two non-mammalian orders Opisthocomiformes and Rhynchocephalia

It is known that the tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) is the only extant reptile species in the order Rhynchocephalia, the hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) is the only extant bird species in the order Opisthocomiformes, the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), colocolo (Dromiciops gliroides), and aardvark (Orycteropus afer) are the only extant mammal species of the orders Platypoda, Microbiotheria, and Tubulidentata respectively

Interestingly, the monospecific orders Platypoda, Microbiotheria, and Tubulidentata are part of three different mammal groups, with Platypoda being one of the two extant orders of monotremes (subclass Monotremata), Microbiotheria being one of the seven extant orders of marsupials (subclass Marsupialia), and Tubulidentata being one of the twenty-one extant orders of placental mammals (subclass Placentalia)

What kinds of sources do you use for these possibly false or outdated claims you make on AFF videos. Give me an actual answer.
