What are Type Specific Predicates?

If you do know what that they already: props to you.

Type Specific Predicates are sub-predicates usable in entity predicates. Specifically, in the type_specific sub node. They allow you to check for specific properties, that only exist for certain entity types, for example a foxes variant or a players level.
