Shark Practiced Asexual Reproduction

I never knew sharks could do this.

Seems pretty cool to me.

Yep! Some sharks and rays are parthenogenetic, while some other fish are hermaphroditic. And then there is the poor male anglerfish... ::shudder::

Some lizards and snakes produce asexually too.
It has always intrigued me, and them being able to go from one method to the other is even more intriguing.

well, I guess it's still better than being nommed on after mating ;)

Cool! I wish humans reproduced asexually.

And then there are those cool fish that don't go from sexual to asexual. They just decide to change from a male into female, or vice versa, as required, clownfish being the best known of those beasts.
