BellaOnline Forums Education Biology Shark in Nebrask gives birth without father

Though this story is fairly old (2001), I only recently herad of it, and it is pretty interesting. Many amphibians can have parthogenesis, though I had never heard of chondrichtyes (class of sharks) doing this.

Read this BBC article on BBC for more details.

Thanks to sciencebird sciencebird for pointing it my way.

This is amazing!!
i hope this never happens to human i mean women..

I recently stumbled upon this blog article about sharks, which also said that they are proven to reproduce without a mate. Really interesting!
