No. There are actually several kinds of fish who have live births, such as guppies, mollies, swordtails, and platies.

Is a peacock oviviviparous oviparous or viviparous?

hens are oviparous because they lay eggs and the egg hatches after the egg is laid as opposed to ovoviviparous which is when the eggs hatch inside the mother and viviparous which is when the mother gives birth to live young.


What is the difference between oviparous and viviparous animals?

Oviparous animals lay eggs that hatch outside of the mother's body, while viviparous animals give birth to live young that develop inside the mother's body. Oviparous animals include birds, reptiles, and most fish, while viviparous animals include mammals and some reptiles.


What are long nosed oviparous batoids?

Batoid is a general term for cartilaginous fish with flattened bodies which include the rays and skates. Oviparous are egg-laying species. These have a longer nose than others in the same group.


Why are not all animals oviparous?

Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by laying eggs. This is how most fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects, and arachnids reproduce. All birds and monotremes also reproduce like this. Most animals that live on land lay eggs that are protected by hard shells. They fertilize their eggs internally. Water-dwelling animals like fish and amphibians lay eggs that have not been fertilized yet. Then the males lay sperm on top of the eggs, which is called external fertilization. No mammals except for monotremes reproduce like this. Instead, they are viviparous. Fish, amphibians and reptiles that are not oviparous are oviviparous. This means that the eggs hatch while still inside the mother's body.


What do they call ocean dwellers that lay eggs and have bones?
