Oviparous

Oviparous animals are those that lay eggs as a means of reproduction. These animals include birds, reptiles, amphibians, and most fish species. The eggs produced by oviparous animals are fertilized externally and develop outside the mother's body. Oviparous animals have evolved various ways to protect their eggs, such as burying them in the ground, hiding them in nests, or carrying them in special pouches. The development of oviparous animals varies greatly, from a few days to several months. Once the eggs hatch, the young offspring are fully formed and ready to explore the world around them.
