Which shark can reproduce without a male?
Quick Answer
Female hammerheads, blacktip sharks and some other sharks have been documented reproducing by parthenogenesis, though it is rare.
The Full Story
Parthenogenesis has been observed in several shark species, including bonnethead and blacktip sharks. In these cases, a female produces offspring without fertilization by a male. This is unusual and not the normal reproductive method for the species. The discovery showed that some sharks can switch reproductive strategies under certain conditions, at least occasionally.
Key Facts
1.Observed in multiple shark species
