Hello friends! Today, we’re going to explore how animals have babies. You might already know that chicks come from eggs and puppies grow inside their mothers. Let’s learn about the different ways animals can have babies!
Animals can have babies in two main ways: asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.
In asexual reproduction, only one parent is needed. These animals don’t have special organs for reproduction. They can make copies of themselves when they grow up. Some examples are jellyfish and sea sponges. Did you know that sea sponges are animals? A long time ago, people thought they were plants!
Sexual reproduction is more common and involves two parents: a male and a female. The babies look like their parents. We can divide these animals into three groups based on how they reproduce: oviparous, viviparous, and ovoviviparous. Let’s find out more!
Oviparous animals lay eggs, and their babies hatch from them. Can you think of an oviparous animal? Birds like ducks are oviparous. Most reptiles, like chameleons, and fish are also oviparous. Did you know a fish can lay up to 500 eggs at once? That’s a lot! Insects are oviparous too!
Viviparous animals have babies that grow inside their mothers. After they grow, the mothers give birth to them. Most mammals, like humans, dogs, and cats, are viviparous. Did you know a female dog can have up to 24 puppies at once? That’s a big family!
Ovoviviparous animals are a bit different. Their babies grow inside eggs, but these eggs stay inside the mother’s body until they are ready to hatch. Some sharks, snakes, and the platypus are ovoviviparous. Aren’t they fascinating?
Now you know how to classify animals based on how they have babies. Keep exploring and learning about the amazing world of animals!
That’s all for today, friends! Remember, there are many more things to learn. Keep watching educational videos to discover more about the world around you. See you next time!
Animal Observation Journal: Start an animal observation journal. Over the next week, try to spot different animals in your neighborhood or local park. Write down or draw the animals you see and try to guess how they might have babies. Are they oviparous, viviparous, or ovoviviparous? Share your findings with your class or family.
Egg Carton Craft: Use an empty egg carton to create a model of an oviparous animal’s nest. Decorate each section of the carton to represent different eggs. You can use paper, paint, or markers to make your eggs colorful. Discuss with your friends or family what kind of animal might lay eggs like the ones you’ve created.
Guess the Animal Game: Play a game with your friends or family where you describe an animal and others guess if it’s oviparous, viviparous, or ovoviviparous. For example, you might say, “This animal lays eggs and can fly,” and others would guess “bird” and say it’s oviparous. Take turns and see how many animals you can guess correctly!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello friends! Today we’re going to learn how to classify animals by their reproduction. You probably already know that chicks are born from eggs and puppies grow in their mother’s wombs. Do you want to learn about the different ways animals reproduce? Let’s dive right in!
As you may know, animals have babies similar to themselves through reproduction. There are two types of reproduction: asexual and sexual reproduction.
[Music]
Only a few animal species reproduce asexually. This method involves only one parent, and they do not have special reproductive organs. Asexual organisms can make identical copies of themselves when they become adults. An example of this is jellyfish or sea sponges. Yes, sea sponges are animals, although many years ago, people thought they were plants.

Sexual reproduction is more common in animals. It involves two parents, a male and a female, and their young will resemble them. We can classify animals into three groups according to their type of sexual reproduction: oviparous, viviparous, and ovoviviparous. Let’s discover them!
**Oviparous**: Oviparous animals hatch from eggs. Can you give me an example of an oviparous animal? I’ll help you! Birds like ducks are oviparous. Most reptiles are oviparous, like this chameleon. Fish are also oviparous. Did you know that a fish can lay up to 500 eggs at one time? It’s amazing! Oh, and I forgot, insects are oviparous too!
**Viviparous**: The babies of viviparous animals grow in their mother’s wombs, and then the mothers give birth to them. What animals are viviparous? Almost all mammals, including humans, since we grow in our mother’s wombs and are born from them. Dogs and cats are also examples of viviparous animals. Do you know how many puppies a female dog can give birth to? Up to 24 puppies in the same litter!
**Ovoviviparous**: There aren’t many animals with ovoviviparous reproduction. Their embryos develop inside an egg, which grows inside the mother’s womb. They’re like a mix of viviparous and oviparous animals. Do you know any examples of ovoviviparous animals? The most famous are some sharks, snakes, and the platypus. What interesting animals!
