Crocodile makes herself pregnant in Costa Rica zoo – BBC News
The first case of a crocodile making herself pregnant has been identified at a zoo in Costa Rica.
She produced a baby that was 99.9% genetically identical to herself.
This is called a “virgin birth” and has been found in species of birds, fish and other reptiles, but never before in crocodiles.
Scientists say the trait might be inherited from an evolutionary ancestor, like dinosaurs, who also may have been capable of self-reproduction.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

I would love to know WHY that pore croc has been living all by herself for the last 18 yrs? That in itself is cruel. Maybe if you would of put her with other like her she would of had her babies the good ole fashion way instead of having to make herself get pregnant.

Interesting that Mary's virgin birth of Jesus the Christ is often the ridicule of unbelievers ,this man believes dinosaurs existed ,yet the Bible never mentions them in Genesis .He want to say this relates to evolution.He does not mention this happened in a human once.Either he's biased against the scriptures or has an issue with women.

When the baby crock starts talking in a few years you might want to start interesting the handler's who were feeding her.

Can this applies to the human species, i.e. females. For there are too many unfruitful waste men to be fruitful husband's. Lol lol. Many women would be fertilizing their own eggs naturally within the bodies cells and dna pathogens
