Answer:

Oviparous animals are female animals that lay their eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother. This is the reproductive method of most fish, amphibians, most reptiles, and all pterosaurs, dinosaurs (including birds), and monotremes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oviparous animals look after their eggs after laying them. Some viviparous animals show parental care after birth, while others don't. Examples of oviparous animals include frogs, snakes, lizards, hens, duck, fishes, shark, penguins, butterflies, octopus, etc.
