Question

What are oviparous animals ? Give two examples of oviparous animals.

Answer 1

Answer:

Oviparous animals lay eggs that develop and hatch into young individuals. Whereas, viviparous animals are immediately born as living young individuals. Birds, reptiles, amphibians, most fish, insects, molluscs, arachnids and monotremes (mammals with reptilian characteristics) are oviparous animals. Most mammals are viviparous animals.

Answer 2

Oviparous animals

Explanation:

Birds and Reptiles usually lay eggs. They are oviparous animals. Animals that help develop the zygote outside their body in a shell are called oviparous animals. Snake, fish and frog lay eggs, so they are oviparous animals.

Viviparous animals incubate the embryo inside their body and give birth to live young ones. They do not lay eggs. Cat, rat and rabbit give birth to live young ones, so they are viviparous animals, not oviparous.
