There are three seperate laws with regard to living animals:
Fish - must have both fins and scales to be considered Kosher
Land Animals - must chew its cud and have split hooves to be Kosher
Birds - The Bible enumerates birds of prey which may NOT be eaten, all other birds are considered Kosher. (However, nowadays, only birds which have a unbroken tradition of being Kosher are eaten.)
Products of kosher animals may be eaten (This means that milk of a kosher animal i.e. it chews its cud and has split hooves, may be eaten (e.g. cows milk is Kosher but pig gelatin is not).
Additionally land animals and birds must be slaughtered correctly in order to be Kosher.
Over and above this Milk and Meat is not allowed to be mixed and is considered Non-Kosher if it does. (Many customs also prohibit mixing fish and meat.)
The laws of Kosher are generally considered a "chok." This means they are laws that have no logical explanation or reasoning.
