Sharks give birth to their young in three different ways depending on the type of shark.
1. Some lay eggs. This is called oviparous.
2. Some have live births. Their young was carried internally as it developed and nourished from placenta. This is called viviparous.
3. Others have live births and their young are carried internally as it develops but are not attached to the mother. The eggs hatch internally within the oviduct, and the young continue to be nourished by the remnants of the yolk and the oviduct's fluids. When they are born they are functional and alive. This is called ovoviparous.
