- Animals that lay eggs to produce their offspring are known as oviparous animals
- Birds, reptiles and amphibians are examples of oviparous animals.
- Mammals (including human beings) are an example of viviparous animals as they produce offspring by the development of embryo inside their body, eventually leading to live birth.
Animals who give birth to young ones are
-
Oviparous
-
Viviparous
-
Ovoviviparous
-
None of the above
Animals giving birth to young ones are called viviparous animals. The egg of these animals typically contains less of yolk insufficient to support the development of the zygote into an embryo. Hence, development proceeds inside the body of the female animal and the fully developed embryo is delivered. Oviparous animals lay an egg. Their egg typically has more amount of yolk and can support the development of the zygote into an embryo. Ovovivipary is an in-between scenario in which eggs are retained till embryo is developed and is then delivered.
Tortoise is

Tortoise lays eggs so it is Oviparous and not Viviparous.

Animals which give birth to young ones are known as mammals which are vertebrates.
Birds and snakes are oviparous animals.
-

False
Calf grows
-
Inside the cow's body
-
Outside the cow's body
-
Inside the kangaroo's body
-
Outside the kangaroo's body
Cow is a placental mammal. Once it gives birth to a calf it grows outside the cow's body.
Viviparity is found in
-
Sharks
-
Lizards
-
Frogs
-
Birds
In viviparous animals, females give birth to young ones. The development of zygote takes place inside the female's body. Females deliver young ones and the chances of survival of offsprings are more. Mammals (except egg-laying mammals), like whale, shark, mouse, humans are examples of viviparous animals.
So, the correct answer is 'Sharks'.
Birds that wade in water have
-
Webbed feet
-
Clawed feet
-
Long legs
-
Short legs
Some birds, like cranes, wade in the water. They have long feet and toes. Along with long feet, they are also seen having long necks. As they move around in shallow waters, having long feet helps them in keeping their feathers high above the surface of the water. Thus they are kept dry and don't get wet with water even when the birds search for food inside water. This forms a part of their important adaptive behavior.
