Oviparous animals are animals that lay
eggs, with little or no other
embryonic development within the mother. This is the
reproductive method of many
fish,
amphibians and
reptiles, all
birds, the
monotremes, and most
insects and
arachnids.Land-dwelling animals that lay eggs, often protected by a shell, such as reptiles and insects, do so after having completed the process of internal
fertilization. Water-dwelling animals, such as fish and amphibians, lay their eggs before fertilization, and the male lays its sperm on top of the newly laid eggs in a process called external fertilization.
