Yes, you read the title correctly. A female shark did give birth to a baby shark…. and the baby got eaten right away. This has only been known to happen once before. It happened in a zoo in Omaha Nebraska. Scientists believe that this case was no fluke and that it is quite possible that sharks of many species can do it on occasion.

I thought that it was very interesting that sharks can be a virgin and reproduce. If a female shark ever has trouble finding a mate because it is endangered or something, it could reproduce by itself. The only problem is that the baby most likely will be more susceptible to congenital disorders and diseases
Wow! What an amazing scientific discovery! I never knew that a shark could do such a thing. Just think of how crazy it would be if humans could do that! Just Kidding, but seriously that truly is interesting. It is amazing how God has made us and the creatures on the earth with such capabilities.
One thing to realize though is that this isn’t a first time thing that an animal has done this. Further in the article it states that virgin birth is capable in some bonyfish, ampibians, reptiles, and even birds! Isn’t it incredible how God made this wonderful earth with amazing creatures and animals. I think it is. Amen.
I think this is a really interesting article. It is amazing how some things can happen when they don’t even seem possible. God really has made some amazing animals.
We should really try to find out if this type of reproduction is possible for other animals. If it is successful this can extremely help reproduce an area with a species, introduce it to a new area, or even save a dying species. Scientists should really try to look into this topic.
How could this haapened???
Shark doesn’t have to have s**???to have baby??

I am aree with Dull that we have to find out the way so that we could do it to endangered animals..
