Something is wrong with the normal speed recording.

l'anatra as I understand it, but it is a bird!

L'anatra è un uccello!

very confusing - the duck is a bird

1.I am confused of the duck's being an animal or a bird!?

2.If it's an animal,then why do people eat ducks.So shameful :-(

I hear "la l'anatra", even when listening to the slow recording

I dont have the slow button. How do you enable it?

Why isn't it "un'animale"?

Nope, it's a bird!!

No argument really, l'anatra è un uccello! And a shark is a fish. There's quite a few "errors"of this nature in Duolingo italian. Maybe linguists are just not good at animal classification.

So the stress of “anatra” falls on the antepenultimate syllable?
