Fatherless Dragons Hatched in Kansas

The virgin birth of two Komodo dragons at a Kansas zoo is
being consider as neither miraculous nor that unusual. The
two baby lizards hatched at the Sedgwick County Zoo in
Wichita are the first to be produced in North America
through a biological process known as parthenogesis that
has been recorded twice before. "We never had a male
dragon at the zoo," reptile curator Nate Nelson told the
Wichita Eagle Thursday.
