Female shark reproduces without male partner.....what?!?

[ChicagoGuy75]

I am sure alot of people have heard this, that a shark reproduced without a male partner. This supposed to have happened in 2001 in Omaha, Nebraska.

I guess the DNA proved that there wasn't a male shark involved.

Scientist are saying that this is becoming more common with animals that are isolated in captivity but not in mammals.

Why am I just hearing about this now?

Is this the next evolution with life or am I just going crazy and not reading this right?

Or some animals had this feature all along and between our knowledge of DNA testing and better observation techinques, only now we have become aware of this method of reproduction.

Or it could be that a male shark's semen was floating around the water and it somehow entered the female shark's da kine.

Oooh man, that's just wrong. What's even more wrong is that I'm shocked I didn't think of it until I read your comment.

LOL @ Adrian saying "the female shark's da kine."
