"ovoviviparous" is one of my favorite words to say out loud!
Most animals are either viviparous (they give birth to babies) or oviparous (they lay eggs). Some snakes & lizards, though, lay eggs INSIDE THEIR OWN BODIES, & then the eggs hatch inside them & the babies come out live--ovoviviparous.

Reading along and the author used the word “viperous,” which my brain keeps wanting to make viviparous, which vipers are not because most are ovoviviparous.
Just what it’s like in here.

For #WobbegongWed, as far as we know, #wobbegong #sharks reproduce via aplacental viviparity (formerly known as ovoviviparous)!
Aplacental viviparity meant that eggs are formed and hatch in utero then the animal gives birth to a live pup.
