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. :bow:

Very interesting!!!! thanks for posting :gj:

Wow that is really cool! Thanks for sharing that :).

I think its very interesting.

Makes me wonder with all these wild burms loose.....hmmm....

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

hm, who needs cloning when you have burms like these!

Great read, thanks for posting!

Thanks Kat!

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.

Awesome read, O.K. I'm a geek but these things are interesting. Did anyone notice where this study was from....Amsterdam, man those guys know how to party:D:cool::D
