Tidbit

After eight years of living with no males of the same species, a female blacktip shark named Tidbit, was discovered to be just about ready to give birth to a baby in the Virginian aquarium. Tidbit was taken to have some tests but it died during the tests. The scientists discovered that Tidbit had a pup just about to be born and it was a great surprise for them since Tidbit had been in the aquarium for eight years with no male of the same species. The pub was tested by Damian Chapman, a shark scientist to be sure the baby had no father. The virgin birth is known as "parthenogenesis" and it has been also documented in some fish and amphibians, snakes, birds, and in Komodo dragons.
