So I was just watching a documentary on Komodo Dragons and I found out that the females can actually have eggs and they can hatch with out the fertilizing of a male. This is crazy to me because everyone always says it takes two to keep going, but this is the total opposite of this theory.
"scientists have documented a virgin birth. Actually, what they describe is two such births by
Komodo dragons (
Varanus komodoensis) in captivity. The births occurred in zoos that lacked male Komodo dragons, the largest of the lizards."
I think its crazy that this can happen, and if it starts happening in the wild (if it hasen't) we will soon have tons of Komodo Dragons!
