Default Komodo Jesus! (well, 5 of em)

5 Komodo dragons born at British zoo - Yahoo! News

Quote:
MANCHESTER, England - A British zoo announced Wednesday the virgin birth of five Komodo dragons, giving scientists new hope for the captive breeding of the endangered species.

In an evolutionary twist, the newborns' eight-year-old mother Flora shocked staff at Chester Zoo in northern England when she became pregnant without ever having a male partner or even being exposed to the opposite sex.
Whoa! Didn't know that could happen with mammals/reptiles/species with 2 sexes.

If it is real, that is.

It's not so exciting once you realize one of the Zoo Keepers is into Komodo's... Then it all starts to make sense.

The babies will all come out looking like Ralph the Zoo Keeper.

Not sure, but I think the term is called asexual? Some reptiles can do this to prevent extinction. Hell, alligators can even change theirs, if I'm not mistaken.
