A Komodo dragon with no male partner gave birth to three hatchlings
Read full article: A Komodo dragon with no male partner gave birth to three hatchlings(CNN) – Charlie, a female Komodo dragon at the Chattanooga Zoo in Tennessee, has proved to be the ultimate independent lady after successfully giving birth to three hatchlings without a male partner. The hatchlings were born last August, but since zoo staff were never able to confirm any successful breeding between Charlie and Kadal, they ordered a DNA test. Parthenogenesis happens when another egg, rather than sperm, fertilizes an egg, according to Scientific American. When parthenogenesis occurs, the mother can only create WW or ZZ eggs and since WW eggs aren't viable, only ZZ eggs are left to produce all male hatchlings, the zoo said. “As the Komodo dragon is listed as vulnerable to extinction, these hatchlings are even more special and represent a bright future for their species.”
