Komodo dragon

Parthenogenesis

Main article: Parthenogenesis

A Komodo dragon at London Zoo named Sungai laid a clutch of eggs in late 2005 after being separated from male company for more than two years. Scientists initially assumed that she had been able to store sperm from her earlier encounter with a male, an adaptation known as superfecundation.[39] On December 20, 2006, it was reported that Flora, a captive Komodo dragon living in the Chester Zoo in England, was the second known Komodo dragon to have laid unfertilized eggs: she laid 11 eggs, and seven of them hatched, all of them male.[40] Scientists at Liverpool University in England performed genetic tests on three eggs that collapsed after being moved to an incubator, and verified that Flora had never been in physical contact with a male dragon.

A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae), it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum length of 3 metres (9.8 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to around 70 kilograms (150 lb)

Must admit I had to Google.......

Thanks MH I missed that connection between the Komodo dragon and Parthenogenesis.

Each to his own.....

The very fact that the video was pulled prior to the TV show does indicate that JC is still a very big 'problem' for very many people......

After 2 days on youtube the video is presently at over 511.000 hits......methinks that might just indicate the extent of the JC 'problem' and the interest in it....

You are right. To each his own.
