Animals are classified as oviparous and viviparous based on how they produce their young ones.
Oviparous animals: They produce eggs that hatch outside the body of mother .e.g. Amphibians, birds, and most insects, fish, and reptiles etc. The eggs are covered by hard shell made up of calcium carbonate and laid in safe place in environment to protect the young ones from the predators. After a period of incubation young ones hatch out.
Viviparous animals: In these animals, the zygote develops into a young one inside the body of the female e.g. majority of mammals including humans. After attaining a certain stage of growth the young ones are delivered out of the body of the female organism. The chances of survival of young ones is quite high in these animals because the mother provides proper embryonic care and protection to the developing embryo.
No, oviparous and viviparous animals cant be placed in one group when we categorize them on the basis of how they give birth to their offsprings.
