Hello, I noticed that a lot of the articles on sharks describe them as viviparous when sharks could never be so. In most cases, they are ovoviviparous rather than viviparous. Though similar, they have some huge differences. Ovoviviparous means that the eggs develop as eggs do inside of the womb, the young getting nutrients from the yolk. Viviparous means that the young get their nutrients from the mother, and not the yolk. I have found this mistake in many articles and cannot edit some of them.
