    Super interesting! Thanks for posting... I remember reading about a female Komodo Dragon at a Zoo, and several threads here with Ball Pythons that did the same...

    Mother Nature is truly amazing.

    "This mechanism results in
    offspring that is genetically identical to the mother"

    neat! I remember the komodo a few years ago, and I'm pretty sure there was a shark that has been documented as well..

    I'm glad people don't do that.
