Maybe that’s because when you’re drunk, you’re really controlling a giant monster somewhere in the Amazon rainforest, and the only reason we haven’t seen the movie yet is because there’s no TV or internet.

I’ll never understand the hate for Hathaway. She’s so wonderful in every film I’ve seen of her.

I think this movie looks great.

This adaptability seems to also point to being at least one of the reasons sharks have survived great ancient mass extinctions.

Congressional Republicans immediately condemned the shark’s actions, saying that just because she can have babies on her own doesn’t mean she should because shark babies need a strong male influence in their lives. They then put forth a bill that would make it illegal for all offspring of parthenogenesis to receive…

One of the scientists performing the DNA test added that the new litter looks nothing like him. Not at all. So go home. Nothing to see here.

They wouldn’t be clones, even if all their genetic material is derived from the mother, due to crossing over betwen the homologous chromosomes during meiosis. But from what I’m understanding from the article they would be homozygous across their entire genome, because the egg cell is fertilized by one of its polar…

Liar this shark was visited by an angel shark that told her she would give birth to the savior of all shark kind, and two sibling on which to feed.

I don’t think it qualifies as a virgin birth when you’ve already had 24 kids the old fashioned way.

I’m a celibate lesbian and vertebrate parthenogenesis is the sort of thing I irrationally worry about when my eternally-irregular period ceases for months at a time. If sharks and reptiles can do it, what if I’m the first proven case of parthenogenesis in humans?

You may mean Queen of Queens, since if the pups received their mother’s DNA only, they would all be females.

Sisters are doing it for themselves.

If someone tells this shark to go fuck herself, she can say ‘been there, done that, have the offspring to prove it’.

In times of stress the last fucking thing I would want is to get pregnant.

So all 3 pups and the mom would all be DNA equivalents then, right? Self-Cloning?
Basically...that is the bodies way of making an “immortal” being...? Whoa. Curious as to how many generations it would continue before Mrs. Sharky’s DNA would just say “yep, he ain’t coming back”.

A zebra shark needs a male like a fish needs a bicycle.

Leonie is a strong, independent zebra shark that don’t need no man.
