Live-bearing, in biology, describes the characteristic of animals that give birth to live offspring instead of laying eggs. As such, antonyms for live-bearing would include egg-laying or oviparous. Oviparous animals, such as birds, reptiles, and most fish, lay their eggs outside of their bodies, and the embryo develops outside the mother's womb. Other antonyms for live-bearing might include nonviviparous or nonmammalian, since most mammals are live-bearing but other animals, such as birds or fish, are not. Additionally, viviparous is a term that is often used interchangeably with live-bearing and would therefore also be considered an antonym.
