The miraculous births, which are all males, could be a product of keeping this threatened species in captivity, say researchers, and could have implications for the continued health of zoo-bound populations.
Parthenogenesis — reproduction without the need for fertilization by a male — is rare in vertebrates. Some animals, including several lizard species, are known to be capable of it. But Komodo dragons have never been seen to breed like this before
This is the second komodo dragon in England to give birth divinely. And there is more than one egg, so we’re way past “second” coming. Personally, I’d look to your water supply in England.
