What is another word for viviparous?
Pronunciation: [vˈɪvɪpˌaɹəs] (IPA) 
Viviparity is a unique biological phenomenon where embryos develop inside the mother's body and are nourished by her until they are born. Some synonyms for the term "viviparous" include giving birth to live young, live-bearing, and live-birth reproduction. This process is common in mammals like humans, cats, and dogs. However, it is also observed in a few species of reptiles and fish. This remarkable mode of reproduction allows for the development of intricate relationships between mother and offspring, as well as unique adaptations to environmental pressures. In contrast, animals that lay eggs are called oviparous, while animals that give birth to undeveloped young who mature outside the mother's body are called ovoviviparous.
