What is what animal lays eggs and is not a bird?

Here's some information about animals that lay eggs and are not birds:

Several animal groups lay eggs but are not birds. These animals are called oviparous animals. Here are a few examples:

  • Reptiles: Many reptiles, such as snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles, and alligators, lay eggs. The eggs are often leathery or have a hard shell, providing protection to the developing embryo.

  • Amphibians: Most amphibians, like frogs, toads, and salamanders, lay their eggs in water or moist environments. Amphibian eggs are typically jelly-like and lack a hard shell.

  • Fish: A vast number of fish species are oviparous. Fish eggs, or roe, vary greatly in size, shape, and number, depending on the species.

  • Insects: The majority of insects lay eggs. Insect eggs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and are laid on or near a food source for the hatching larvae.

  • Monotremes: These are a group of mammals that lay eggs, including the echidna and the platypus. They are unique among mammals in this regard.
