Kimodo Dragons With Virgin Births
Posted In: Misc. by Andy at 6:07 am
The BBC is reporting on some unusual happenings at the Chester Zoo in the UK.
Scientists report two cases where female Komodo dragons have produced offspring without male contact.
Tests revealed their eggs had developed without being fertilised by sperm - a process called parthenogenesis, the team wrote in the journal Nature. One of the reptiles in the zoo is awaiting her clutch of eight eggs to hatch, with a due-date estimated around Christmas.
The following link is to the Wikipedia article on parthenogenesis if you’re interested in learning more.
