Wired News (not sure why) are reporting of the birth of another shark pup to a virgin mum. DNA tests on the baby shark showed that there was no male DNA present at all, thus showing that the reproduction was completely asexual. This follows the case in the middle of 2007 where an Atlantic Blacktip Shark (named Tidbit) died at an aquarium in Virginia Beach. During a necropsy of the shark, a shark pup was found to be being carried. This led to speculation that the shark had either been impregnated by a male of another species (for which there are no documented cases), or had reproduced asexually.
