I can't find the definition of ovoviparous. Merriam-Webster says that "The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary." Some spelling suggestion are viviparous and oviparous. Is one of those words what you meant? ~Katherine
The definition of ovoviviparous is "Producing young by means of eggs that are hatched within the body of the parent." That means that the creature developed in an egg, inside its mother's body, then hatched in there and was later born. Three other creatures that are ovoviviparous are the basking shark, the Garter Snake, and the rattle snake. ~Katherine

Hi Katherine,
I have corrected the spelling. I hope that wasn't too confusing.
