oviparous
This term is a technical biological descriptor used primarily in scientific, academic, or zoological contexts. It carries a neutral, descriptive tone and is rarely used in casual conversation, where a speaker would more likely say "egg-laying."
It is frequently contrasted with "viviparous" (giving birth to live young) and "ovoviviparous" (eggs that hatch inside the body). Because it describes a biological classification, it is almost always used as an attributive adjective preceding a noun, such as "oviparous species" or "oviparous mammals."
