Megamouth sharks give birth through a process called ovoviviparity, where the eggs develop and hatch inside the mother's body. After a gestation period, the female gives birth to live young, which are fully formed and capable of swimming away shortly after birth. This reproductive strategy allows the mother to protect the developing embryos from environmental threats. Typically, a single megamouth shark can give birth to around 6 to 16 pups at a time.
