The answer to this question is a bit of a trick! While all animals are born, some animals are born from eggs rather than being born live.
Animals Born from Eggs
Many animals, including:
- Birds: Chickens, ducks, eagles, and more.
- Reptiles: Snakes, lizards, turtles, and crocodiles.
- Amphibians: Frogs, toads, and salamanders.
- Fish: Salmon, tuna, and many others.
- Insects: Butterflies, moths, and beetles.
are born from eggs. These eggs are laid by the mother and then incubated until the young animal is ready to hatch.
Animals Born Live
Other animals, like:
- Mammals: Dogs, cats, humans, and whales.
are born live. The mother carries the young inside her body until it is fully developed and then gives birth.
Therefore, no animal is truly not born, but some animals hatch from eggs instead of being born live.
