What is an example of an oviparous mammal?
Correct answer: A. Penguin
- A. Penguin
- B. Bat
- C. Whales
- D. Elephant
Explanation
Penguins are oviparous, which means they lay eggs. Penguins lay eggs and incubating them. After mating, the female penguin lays one or two eggs, depending on the species, and then both the male and female take turns incubating the eggs by sitting on them to keep them warm. Once the eggs hatch, the parents continue to care for the chicks until they are ready to survive on their own. Whales, Bats and Elephants all reproduce sexually.
