Viviparous animals are those that give birth to live and fully developed offspring, rather than laying eggs.
These animals have the ability to carry out embryonic development inside the mother’s body, where the offspring is nourished and grows until it is ready to be born.
This method of reproduction is common in mammals such as humans, dogs, cats, and whales. Unlike oviparous animals, viviparous ones do not rely on an egg for the initial development of the offspring, but rather nurture and protect it internally until the time of birth.
