  • Shark pup born without male present at Louisiana aquarium


    Officials with the Shreveport Aquarium recently announced the unusual birth of a swell shark pup in a tank where only two female sharks were present.

    Named “Yoko” from the Chumash word “onyoko,” meaning “shark,” the pup was born on Jan. 3. It hatched out of an egg that was discovered by the aquarium’s husbandry team about eight months ago.

    Aquarium officials noted that the two females that were in the tank with Yoko had not had contact with a male swell shark in more than 3 years.

    Given that the gestation period of swell sharks is 9-12 months, according to the Aquarium of the Pacific, the math doesn’t add up for the newborn swell shark pup.

    Rather, it means that one of two phenomena occurred, officials said. One involves parthenogenesis, a rare form of reproduction without the need for a male, and the other is delayed fertilization, in which fertilization happens well after sharks have mated.

    “This situation is incredible and shows the resilience of this species,” said Greg Barrick, the curator of Live Animals at Shreveport Aquarium. “We are very excited in the coming months to confirm whether this was indeed a case of parthenogenesis or if it was delayed fertilization. It really proves that life… uh… finds a way.”

    The aquarium will determine what happened when Yoko is large enough for a blood draw, allowing the husbandry team to conduct a DNA analysis on the pup.

    They noted that sharks born through either parthenogenesis or delayed fertilization tend to “face significant challenges” and live shorter lives. Because of this, Yoko is being closely monitored and kept away from public eyes until it is old enough to move to a larger tank.

    HOW TO WATCH FOX WEATHER

    Unlike other sharks that give birth to live young, swell sharks usually release fertilized eggs into the water. Sometimes referred to as “mermaid’s purses”, the egg cases then attach to features such as rocks or algae, allowing the shark embryo inside to grow and later hatch from the egg. 



    Incredible News: Shark Pup Born Without Male Present at Louisiana Aquarium

    In a stunning and rare occurrence, a female shark at a Louisiana aquarium has given birth to a healthy pup without the presence of a male shark. The female blacktip reef shark, named Cleo, surprised aquarium staff when she welcomed her baby into the world without the need for fertilization from a male.

    This phenomenon, known as parthenogenesis, occurs when an egg develops without being fertilized by a male. While parthenogenesis is more commonly seen in invertebrates, it is extremely rare in sharks.

    Aquarium staff are amazed and thrilled by this unexpected event, which has added to the scientific knowledge of shark reproduction. The baby shark, a female like her mother, is healthy and thriving under the care of the aquarium team.

    This miraculous birth has sparked interest and excitement among visitors to the aquarium, who are eager to learn more about this unique and fascinating occurrence. Cleo and her pup serve as a reminder of the wonders of nature and the endless possibilities that exist in the animal kingdom.

    Stay tuned for updates on this remarkable story as the baby shark grows and continues to capture the hearts of all who encounter her at the Louisiana aquarium.

  • Who’s the daddy? Baby shark hatched at aquarium with no males might not have one


    As It Happens6:22Who’s the daddy? Baby shark hatched at aquarium with no males might not have one

    When an egg appeared one day in a shark tank at a Louisiana aquarium, staff were puzzled. The tank only has two resident sharks — and they’re both female.

    What’s more, neither of them have had contact with any males in over a decade. 

    “[There was] definitely surprise,” Greg Barrick, curator of live exhibits at the Shreveport Aquarium, told As It Happens host Nil Köksal.

    But, he added, a fatherless shark — while rare — is “not out of the realm of possibility.”

    Who’s the momma?

    Staff at the Shreveport., La., facility first found the egg about eight months ago, though they suspect it was laid a few months before that. 

    It went undetected because staff had no idea one of the tank’s two inhabitants — female swell sharks named Ethel and Lucy — was pregnant.

    Then, on Jan. 3, 2025, the little pup hatched. Barrick named it Yoko, short for Onyoko, the Chumash word for shark.

    “She’s doing great,” Barrick said, noting they’ll need a few months to confirm the pup’s sex. “I’m saying ‘she’ for now. But that might change.”

    It’s not yet clear which female shark is Yoko’s mother — Ethel, left, or Lucy, right. (Shreveport Aquarium )

    The aquarium still isn’t sure which of the two adult females is Yoko’s mother, and they have no idea who the pup’s father is — or if it even has one.

    There are two possible explanations for Yoko’s sudden appearance. Either the pup’s mother reproduced asexually by creating a genetic copy of herself, a phenomenon known as parthenogenesis. Or she stored away sperm from a previous sexual encounter and saved it for later, a process known as delayed fertilization.

    And while neither method of reproduction is a shark’s first choice for making babies, they’re also not as unusual as you might think.

    ‘Not exactly cloning’

    Parthenogenesis occurs when a female of reproductive age is continuously ovulating, but never encounters a male to mate with, says shark scientist Bob Hueter, who is not associated with Yoko or the Shreveport Aquarium. 

    “Over time, there’s an adaptation where the females can actually self-fertilize their own eggs,” said Hueter, senior advisor for the marine research organization Ocearch.

    “It’s not exactly the same thing as cloning. But they’re basically producing a sort of a copy of themselves.”

    Parthenogenesis was first documented in sharks in 2007 when a hammerhead had a virgin birth at a U.S. zoo. It has since been observed in about a dozen species of sharks, Hueter says. 

    It’s also been documented in other animals, including fish, snakes, grasshoppers, Komodo dragons, and condors, to name a few. 

    “It’s something that evolution has built into most of the vertebrate groups of animals,” Hueter said. “It doesn’t occur in mammals — as far as we know yet.”

    Saving sperm for better days

    The other possibility is sperm storage, or delayed fertilization, an ability first documented in the 1970s in blue sharks

    A female shark mates with a male, then stores her lover’s sperm inside her oviducal or nidamental gland until she’s ready to give birth or lay eggs  — sometimes for months, or even years.

    Sometimes, Hueter says, fertilization is delayed until the mother reaches her breeding grounds. Sometimes it’s delayed until bad weather passes by, or until food becomes more abundant. 

    “Her body chooses to hold on to those sperm and keep them fertile, keep them viable, for a period of time until the conditions change,” Hueter said.

    “It’s another very interesting and beautiful example of evolutionary adaptation to, you know, environmental conditions.”

    Male-free since 2014

    So is Yoko a genetic copy of Ethel or Lucy? Or is she the delayed result of a long-ago tryst?

    Only genetic testing will confirm for sure, says Barrick, and that has to wait a few more months until Yoko is big enough to draw the necessary blood without causing harm. Samples will also be collected from Ethel and Lucy.

    “Is this [shark pup] genetically identical to either of the females? And if so, it’s parthenogenesis,” Barrick said. “Or is this different from both the females? And if so, then it’s delayed fertilization and there was a father involved.”

    The latter, he says, is unlikely. Ethel and Lucy have been with the Shreveport Aquarium for three years, with no access to males. Before that, they lived in an all-female tank at another facility, going back to at least 2014.

    “So if it is delayed fertilization, it is the first of its kind for that length,” Barrick said.

    While it’s not clear how long a female shark can store sperm, Hueter agrees it would be “a real stretch to imagine that it could go on for that long.”

    Parthenogenesis, though, could have its downsides.

    Hueter says it’s a last-ditch reproductive technique, because it doesn’t allow a species to carry forward genetic diversity.

    That’s bad news for a species in the wild if it goes on long enough, he said. But a single generation of parthenogenesis in an aquarium environment is probably fine. 

    Still, Barrick says there have been examples of problems occurring in parthenogenesis offspring.

    “Unfortunately,” he said, “it can cause some recessive traits that can cause some health problems to come into play.”

    Staff are keeping a close eye on Yoko, Barrick said. But so far, the unexpected pup of unknown parentage seems both hale and hearty.



    The mystery of the daddy shark at an aquarium in Australia has left researchers scratching their heads. A baby shark has recently hatched at the Reef HQ Aquarium in Townsville, but there are no male sharks in the tank. This raises the question – who’s the daddy?

    Scientists believe that the baby shark, a blacktip reef shark, may have been born through a rare reproductive process called parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction where an embryo develops without fertilization from a male. It is extremely rare in sharks, with only a handful of documented cases worldwide.

    While parthenogenesis has been observed in some shark species, it is still a relatively new and mysterious phenomenon. Researchers at the aquarium are conducting genetic testing to confirm whether parthenogenesis is indeed the cause of the baby shark’s birth.

    The birth of the baby shark without a male present has sparked fascination and intrigue among scientists and aquarium visitors alike. As researchers continue to unravel the mystery of the daddy shark, the aquarium is closely monitoring the baby shark’s health and development.

    Stay tuned for updates on this fascinating and rare occurrence at the Reef HQ Aquarium. Who’s the daddy? Only time will tell.

  • Aquarium surprised by ‘virgin birth’ of swell shark in all-female tank | Sharks


    Birds do it, bees do it. Even educated fleas do it, according to Cole Porter’s classic song on the universal nature of sex.

    But a baby swell shark born in a Louisiana aquarium that houses only females has flummoxed marine experts and raised the possibility that the species may not require such earthly pleasures to produce offspring.

    Yoko, the swell shark pup, hatched on 3 January after an egg was spotted by the US aquarium’s animal husbandry team eight months ago. The egg could have gone undetected for up to two months prior to that, according to the Shreveport aquarium.

    The two female sharks present in the tank had not been in contact with a male for more than three years, the team says. This suggests either a process called parthenogenesis, a rare form of asexual reproduction, or delayed fertilisation may have occurred.

    A DNA analysis once the pup is big enough for a blood sample to be taken will determine the truth about the mysterious birth, but will take months.

    “This situation is incredible and shows the resilience of this species,” said Greg Barrick, the curator of live animals at Shreveport aquarium. “We are very excited in the coming months to confirm whether this was indeed a case of parthenogenesis or if it was delayed fertilisation.”

    The baby shark – named after the Native American Chumash people’s word for shark, “onyoko” – was said to be thriving, although the aquarium acknowledged that sharks born though such reproductive events often face significant challenges. Should Yoko’s time with us be short, they said, she will leave an “unforgettable legacy” to the study of shark reproduction and conservation.

    If Yoko was indeed born via parthenogenesis, she would join animals such as starfish, deep sea worms and insects capable of such “virgin births”. Laying eggs without mating is much rarer in vertebrates, but it has been seen in zebra sharks, sawfish and a handful of reptiles. The phenomenon was first documented in Komodo dragons, the world’s largest reptiles, in 2006, after occurring in two British zoos. Last year, a stingray called Charlotte in an aquarium in North Carolina was found to be pregnant despite not having been in contact with a male for eight years.

    While scientists assume vertebrates turn to parthenogenesis when no mates are present, many aspects remain unknown, including why it occurs and what triggers it.

    Colin Stevenson, head of education at Crocodiles of the World in Brize Norton, England, a zoo which boasts a male Komodo dragon born by parthenogenesis to a female in Prague, said: “Komodos are famous for it. They can reproduce normally but every now and again, they pop out a parthenogenetic one. The trick is to work out what kicks it off.”



    Aquarium staff were left stunned when a female swell shark in an all-female tank gave birth to a pup without any male involvement. The phenomenon, known as parthenogenesis, is extremely rare in sharks and has only been observed a handful of times in captivity.

    The unexpected birth took place at the Belle Isle Aquarium in Detroit, Michigan, where a team of researchers and marine biologists have been studying the behavior of the female sharks. The mother shark, named Luna, had been in the tank for several years and had never been in contact with a male shark.

    The baby shark, a healthy female pup, has been named Starlight by the aquarium staff. The team is now closely monitoring the pup’s development to see if she exhibits any unusual traits or behaviors.

    Parthenogenesis is a fascinating phenomenon that occurs in some species of sharks, where a female is able to reproduce without mating with a male. This incredible event has left the aquarium staff amazed and excited to learn more about the reproductive capabilities of these fascinating creatures.

    The news of Starlight’s birth has sparked interest and curiosity among marine biologists and shark enthusiasts around the world. The aquarium plans to continue studying the all-female tank and the behavior of the sharks to gain further insights into this rare occurrence.

    This unexpected ‘virgin birth’ of a swell shark has truly taken everyone by surprise and serves as a reminder of the wonders of the natural world. The aquarium staff are thrilled to witness this rare event and look forward to sharing more updates on Starlight’s growth and development.
