Birds develop internally, which means inside the creatures body.
Birds develop internally, within the egg, where they undergo rapid physical changes before hatching. The egg provides protection and nutrients for the developing embryo, allowing it to grow and develop until it is ready to hatch. Once hatched, the bird continues to grow and mature externally in its environment.
Most fish reproduce by external fertilization, where the female releases eggs into the water and the male releases sperm to fertilize them. Some fish species exhibit internal fertilization, with the male transferring sperm directly into the female's body. After fertilization, the eggs develop either externally or internally, depending on the species.
Fish are fertilized externally, meaning that the female releases eggs into the water where they are then fertilized by the sperm released by the male fish. This process is called external fertilization and is common among many species of fish.
Fish reproduce by laying eggs, which are fertilized externally by the male releasing sperm over the eggs. The fertilized eggs develop into fry, which hatch and grow into adult fish. Some fish give birth to live young instead of laying eggs.
