    Charlotte said “fine, I’ll do it myself”

    I'm sure they could find a noisier place for an interview

    Or was she ever housed with males at some point in her life? Some animals can store sperm for long periods of time to use at a later date. There’s already been research suggesting some stingrays can, so maybe this incident can further help that research.

    Yes, it was great fun thinking of a stingray and a shark.

    Whoa. Parthenogenesis is fascinating!
  • “There’s a lot of fun things you can think about…” um what sir?

    Stop guessing and confirm. We all suspected what this "expert" said a long time ago. Do a DNA test to check if they're actually clones.

    Immaculate conception. Stingray messiah.

    Where was this guy when they were trying to convince us that sharkrays could exist?
  • Find it funny that not once did we see a baby Ray, we saw baby sharks, shark eggs but no baby Ray..
  • @cMARVEL360

  • There are lizards that do this also BTW there's only females of the species and there's only basically clones
