Apparently a British zoo is celebrating what scientists are calling a virgin birth! Instead of a primate, this time it was a Komodo dragon. Zookeepers say the mother was never exposed to any male counterparts.Weird. First it's good ole Teresa delivering little Tracy down at our very own Chimp Haven. And now there are little fatherless (literally) dragons running around their cage in northern England.
Crazy. Thanks to Anubhav Tagore, a copy editor here at The Times, for passing along the birth announcement.

Now this is just plain ol' creepy! The chimp situation was hilarious, kinda of a Maury Povich show-meets-Animal Planet or something. But a virgin animal giving birth? Lawd have mercy...now that's a sign of the times if I've ever seen one...
