It is the second time Flora has laid eggs without mating
|
A female komodo dragon at a zoo has become a parent for the second time, despite never having mated.
Chester Zoo's Flora became a parent to seven young last year and has now added another male to her brood - all without the help of an adult male.
This process, known as parthenogenesis, has only recently been recognised in komodo dragons, although it is known to happen in other reptiles.
However, plans are afoot to introduce a potential mate to Flora this year.

If you have never heard of the International Herpetological Society and wonder what it is, here is a brief introduction.
The I.H.S. was originally founded in 1969 by a very small group of reptile enthusiasts and currently caters for approximately 750 members both in the UK and overseas. There are a number of regional branches throughout the UK which all meet on a monthly basis.
