Snakes without fathers: one of the unusual baby boas
A female boa constrictor snake has given birth to two litters of extraordinary offspring.
Evidence suggests the mother snake has had multiple virgin births, producing 22 baby snakes that have no father.
More than that, the genetic make-up of the baby snakes is unlike any previously recorded among vertebrates, the group which includes almost all animals with a backbone.
Details are published in the Royal Society journal...

I sommer kom jeg over en artikkel som satt meg helt ut.. Det handlet her om en Boa constrictor hunn som i fangenskap hadde reprodusert seg selv . Jeg trillet omtrent ut av stolen da jeg leste dette..
Finnes det noen som sitter med opplysninger fra denne saken..?
