Egg Laying Animals - Sudden Death

Some of these animals lay eggs but others don't. Click on the egg laying animals without clicking on anything else!
'Egg-laying animals' are those whose young hatch from eggs outside the body. Some animals, known as 'livebearers', retain eggs inside the body, but give birth to live young, so do not count as 'egg-layers'.

That must be a different Google than the one I used as all my searches say the opposite! According to Wikipedia "Boa constrictors are viviparous, giving birth to live young".

The word viper is etymologically linked to live birth. So how you managed to find a species that lays eggs is... a nasty trick to say the least.

You've got a few tricky ones here ;)

As I ask on most sudden death quizzes, please turn on the sudden death stats, so we can see which answer was the downfall of most.

I thought that this quiz was going to be about the distinct layers of the egg (e.g. "yolk").

I've changed the title slightly to clarify.
