Embryo development in oviparous animals occurs outside the female's body within laid eggs, where the embryos obtain nourishment from the yolk. This process includes fertilization, egg laying, embryonic development, and hatching, and is seen in species like fish, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. Each group has unique adaptations for successful embryo growth in their environments.
