Ovoviviparous

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to keep a delicate balloon safe from popping while walking through a crowded room. Just like you protect the balloon by holding it close to your body to avoid bumps, ovoviviparous species keep their eggs inside their bodies to ensure they develop safely. In this analogy, your body acts as the protective shell, the crowded room represents the potentially harmful external environment, and the balloon is like the egg that is kept safe until it's ready to hatch.
