LISTEN AND READ
Some oviparous animals are independent when they are born. For example, snakes leave their eggs; the baby snakes move around and find food.
Other oviparous animals cannot look after themselves. For example, baby sparrows stay with their parents. The adult birds feed them and protect them.
Viviparous animals depend on their mothers when they are babies. They drink their mother's milk.
