Zoo's Virgin Dragon Gives Birth II

Now its happened in the U.S. A Komodo dragon has given birth without any aid from a male Komodo dragon.

I posted reports of this in U.K. zoos last January.

Facultative parthenogenesis, its called. Sharks, lizards, snakes are some of the larger examples.

Speaking of "larger", a 10-foot, 365-pound Komodo dragon has been verified.
