Virgin Birth of a Shark

A female shark in a Hungarian aquarium has just given birth without ever mating!

Director Attila Varga said: "When I saw the baby shark lying on the bottom of the tank I thought it was a joke. I was amazed when I realised it was a real shark.

"The mother is very protective of her pup, but as soon as we can, marine biologists want to get a DNA sample from both.

"There has only ever been one other example of a virgin birth (parthenogenesis) at a zoo in America when a hammerhead shark had a pup that was killed by a stingray before keepers could remove it from its tank.

"It happened in 2000 but it was only last year that a study of the DNA was complete and indicated the pup was from a virgin birth.

Shark Jesus will rule the Zoo for thousands of years and purge all of our sins with his many and wonderful sharky teeth.

All praise Shark Jesus! He is the Shark messiah because only the messiah could have been born to a virgin.
