Ovoviviparous is a reproductive strategy in which the eggs develop and hatch inside the mother's body, with the offspring being born live. The embryos are nourished by the yolk of the egg until they are ready to be born. This is seen in some species of fish, reptiles, and invertebrates.

Ovoviviparity is a reproductive strategy seen in some animal species where the female retains fertilized eggs within her body, but the eggs hatch and develop into fully formed young without receiving any nourishment from the mother. The embryos develop within the eggs, obtaining nutrients from the yolk, similar to oviparous species. However, unlike oviparous animals that lay eggs externally, ovoviviparous species retain the eggs internally until they hatch, providing protection and a stable environment for the developing embryos.
