Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rattlesnake is ovoviviparous, meaning it retains the eggs inside its body until the young are ready to hatch, and then gives birth to them live. It is not oviparous (laying eggs outside the body), larviparous (giving birth to undeveloped larvae), or viviparous (giving birth to fully developed young without using eggs). "Nefarious" means wicked or evil and is not relevant to the question.
