Sink your teeth into this tasty story!

A virgin shark from Virginia has given birth to a pup. No sign as yet of three wise sharks on their way to present the mother with gifts, however I’m predicting that it won’t be long before the baby is healing the sick and turning water into wine. The interesting part will be if he tries to feed the masses with just five loaves of bread and two humans.

The whole concept of asexual reproduction in an animal as complicated as a shark is quite fascinating. We should be very worried; imagine if scientists managed to discover the trigger for parthenogensis and apply it to human females. The entire male species could become obsolete!

Oh wait, but then there would be noone to open all those tricky jam jars. We’re safe for now, boys.
