  1. Happy Birthday baby congratulations mama. Mother nature is a wonder

  2. When epaulette sharks reproduce asexually their young is weaker than mated sharks

  3. I haven't been able to reproduce alone but I've tried repeatedly.

  4. Even women could do this if we remembered how, it’s called parthenogenesis

  5. So that shark is cloning itself ???

  6. Interesting, I only thought star fish were asexual.

  7. just because boys can't get pregnant doesn't mean you shouldn't try :3

  8. Now if human females can figure out how that's done perhaps the Earth has a chance of surviving!!

  9. Poor love she must have been so lonely ??😢

  10. Wonder what their gestation period is tho.

  11. Itty bitty teeny baby. Nature always finds a way. Evolution is extremely real. She evolved

  12. Parthenogenesis.Some reptiles exhibit it too. Life finds a way…

  13. Or god decided he was done with humans and shark jesus was just born.

  14. This is a beautiful an unique shark species. This is not an immaculate conception and as a Christian I find your words offensive. She is not killing off the males either. Read up on asexual species. Creation is beautiful. ❤❤❤

  15. Animals don’t need men either!

  16. A true immaculate conception guys they a4e trying to Kik us males out what's next??

  17. Was the sperm preserved all that time? Or does it do its own thing?

  18. Ээто акула 🦈 её детеныш?

  19. In humans I believe it’s called parthenogenesis . Did the shark give birth to a clone, since only her dna is involved?

  20. Really 👀👀👀👀 ok.

  21. WOWd beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  22. This proves we don’t need men. The future is female and people of color.

  23. Shes so beautifuls… congratulations to her new baby!
