In which one of the following sets of animals do all the four give birth to young ones?

  1. Kangaroo, hedgehog, dolphin, Loris
  2. Lion, bat, whale, ostrich
  3. Platypus, penguin, bat, hippopotamus
  4. Shrew, bat, cat, kiwi

Answer

(1) Kangaroo, hedgehog, dolphin, Loris

Solution

As per NCERT, mammals are viviparous with few exceptions (e.g. Ornithorhynchus, the platypus, is oviparous), while birds are oviparous.

∵ Kangaroo, hedgehog, dolphin and loris are all viviparous mammals ⇒ all four give birth to young ones.

∵ Ostrich, penguin and kiwi are birds (lay eggs) and platypus is an egg-laying mammal ⇒ options (2), (3) and (4) are wrong.
