Fertilisation and development of embryo, both occurs inside the female body. |
Oviparous animals are egg-laying animals. They show internal fertilisation, but the development of the embryo is through external means only. Hard shells of eggs render protection, once foetus matures, egg hatches. Examples are Birds, frogs and all fishes. Except for some snake species all other reptiles are oviparous, platypus and Echidna are egg-laying mammals. In viviparous animals development of the embryo and fertilisation both occurs inside the female body. Examples are dogs, cats and humans. |
