True live-bearing animals are called viviparous. The difference between ovoviviparous and viviparous is that viviparous animals do not develop within an egg at any point, whereas ovoviviparous animals develop within an internal egg that is diminished upon birth. Viviparous animals are nourished via a placenta prior to birth. Viviparity is common in mammals, namely placental mammals, as well as some fishes, reptiles, amphibians, etc. OVOVIVIPAROUS, and OVIPAROUS.
