The first case of a crocodile making herself pregnant has been identified at a zoo in Costa Rica. Andrew Chang explores how this can happen and where we've seen it in the animal kingdom before.
CORRECTION: This video incorrectly spells the name of the speaker at 1:43. In fact, it should read Brenna Levine.

It's too bad the baby was stillborn, but this is still very cool!

Lots of reptiles are capable of parthenogenesis. There are whole species (or parthenogenic lines) of parthenogenic geckoes and other lizards. It's cool that it's now been documented in a crocodile, but they aren't the ancestors of dinosaurs. If parthenogenesis can be documented in birds, descendants of dinosaurs, it will be more likely that it was possible in dinosaurs.
