External fertilization and development
Yes, internal fertilization is a reproductive strategy used by virtually all terrestrial animals. In aquatic environments, external fertilization is much more common.
Internal fertilization and external fertilization. Internal fertilisation means fertilize the egg inside the female's body. External fertilization is fertilize the egg after the female had lay it out. All mammals including platypus and spiny anteater do internal fertilization.
Most fish have external fertilization. External fitilization is when the outside of a female body.
Broadcast fertilization requires a great excess of egg and sperm gametes because most are wasted. Aquatic animals, such as starfish and sea urchin, mate in this manner.
By external it means that the process of fertilization does not happen within the body by outside, thus EXTERNAL.

Crustaceans use external fertilization rather than internal fertilization like most animals. The eggs are fertilized and then typically carried on the females body.
Most fish have external fertilization.
As with most amphibians the fertilization is external. The female releases the eggs and the male fertilizes them. Amphibians, even toads, need water to reproduce.
The modes of fertilization vary. Most frogs practice external fertilization, the females laying eggs in water and the males spraying sperm over them. Primitive salamanders have external fertilization, but most have internal fertilization, with the female taking up the male's spermatophore. All caecilians have internal fertilization, and the male deposits sperm in the cloaca of the female by using the end of his cloaca as an intromittent organ.
