Is Live Birth a Unique Characteristic of Mammals?

Does live birth truly set mammals apart from all other creatures? This video explores the fascinating diversity of reproduction across the animal kingdom, challenging common assumptions about how life begins. Discover key insights into animal reproduction: ► Live birth, or viviparity, is not exclusive to mammals. ► Many non-mammalian species, including certain fish, reptiles, and amphibians, also give birth to live young. ► The defining characteristic of mammals is mammary glands for milk production, not viviparity. ► Reproductive strategies vary widely, including oviparity (egg-laying), ovoviviparity (eggs hatch internally), and viviparity. #LiveBirth, #Mammals, #AnimalReproduction, #BiologyFacts, #WildlifeExplorer, #Nature
