new fear unlocked: uncontrollable spontaneous pregnancy
Don't worry humans don't have this capability.
@@Vor567tezYeah? That's what they said about crocodiles... 😂
@@Vor567tez I did a bit of research and it does happen in humans!
@@JCsFlame2 😕? No.
Did you not pay attention in Biology class? It comes under as€xual reproduction. Reptiles, fishes, sometimes bird and plants were listed in the book as an example. 😐
@@tastysidewalk4676 I see. But I think that will be 1 in a billion case and the fetus will very deformed and undeveloped. Not at all can survive whereas other animals hv shown fully functional baby who lived long.
A lot of lizards do this routinely, including many geckoes that populate isolated Pacific islands. There are whole species that are all female.
^^tiny lesbian geckos ftw 🦎
Yes, but we had no idea crocodiles are capable of this
Oh, we suspected
*Flashbacks of neverending morning geckos*
Getting preggo from-the-gekko
this is probably how they survived extinction events lol
I feel it's evidence of evolution to some extent.. species keep reproducing without males
But it doesnt make sense u can onky get females from this right
@@mattmathematics3591I think if the end goal is furthering the species whether that species is all female or not is kind of a moot point when faced with extinction. Although yeah long term I see what you’re saying, but in extreme circumstances long term is usually irrelevant
“Alright who’s the father?”
“Myself.”
She was put in captivity for 16 years alone so her body thought it was time to go into apocalypse protocol
This is exactly the case, as seen with many species that have been in captivity and isolation for years. It's like solitary confinement for animals, if it plays heck for humans, just think about animals.
Kind of crewl on the captors responsibility.
Wow you might actually be right.
@@krishahartmann8356 they’re solitary. And also if they live alone there’s often a reason! 😅 I’ve heard many a story of crocodiles in zoos killing their housemates. That’s what they often do in the wild too

"It's a great way to reproduce because you don't need blokes."
Yes, but tell the nice people at home why it's a terrible way to reproduce as well. Tell them about the huge increase in still birth, the genetic problems, the huge cortisol (stress) spike, the parasite problem, immunity deficiency, ect.
There is a reason most life prefers sexual reproduction.

Birds can do it too! Probably dinosaurs could as well
@@stellangios which birds?
They almost had crocodile Jesus
The very interesting thing about this, is that if it was a natural immaculate conception as this chick is describing, the only possible outcome is to reproduce a female offspring. The fact that Jesus was male makes His immaculate conception well, truly immaculate. It could only ever happen with God. ✝️
This is so underrated

I wish they provide her some friends. Animals want and need companionship of their own species too.
This is why lonely dogs (and pets) get overly attached to humans.
When my Mum told be about periods, she said that meant I could get pregnant. What she didn’t tell me was a man needed to impregnate you first. This was about 40 years ago, but even then, that was quite the omission. So I spent about 6 months at the age of 10 wondering if I might get pregnant, until I told my best friends sister who put me right. What’s unbelievable is my mum was a midwife. Why did she not think to tell me about the fairly critical seggs bit?
Ask her!
That’s hilarious 😂
😂😂😂😂
LOL, people too often assuming common sense includes the necessary education 😅 Poor young you, haha
That was very reasonable to assume!
That's because she knew about pathogenesis.
The Virgin Crocodile. I'm already imagining Byzantine mosaics and medieval European paintings depicting the Virgin Crocodile
"wake up babe, new crocodile Jesus just dropped!"
That’s crazy. She wanted some company so she decided to replicate herself. She said BABY DADDY WHO???? 😂😂😂
You know parthenogenesis is extremely common in lizards right? Females don't need sperm to make babies but all their offspring will be 100 per cent female
She knew that she likely won’t get child support anyway, so might as well skip the part where he goes out to buy milk and doesn’t come back. 😆

Go pathos!💪🏻🎉👍🏻😃
Lizard ladies
You mean for the fail 😅 Imagine an army showing up on your land to invade your country and whe they all disembark they are all female 😆
@user-ge1bc7xq5k what men bruv, pathenogenesis only produces females.
Then I wish you nothing but women for the rest of your life.
She has the strongest baby fever in history.
That's why crocodiles survived for hundreds of millions of years
That croc needs to start a religion
Not rally because the amazing part with Jesus is that he is male. Cocos determine sex by temperature, but humans by sex genes so if Mary had a parthenogenic baby it will be female. That is why feminist are so evil I love for this process to become a reality in humans it will lead to the decontamination of Earth Mary Daly predicted.

"Life finds a way" -Ian Malcom Jurassic Park
That always irked me about Jurassic Park! With a bunch of female saurians parthenogenesis would have been a perfectly reasonable explanation for why they suddenly reproduced, while the amphibian DNA turning them into hermaphrodites is far more convoluted imo
@@inkedfeathers7834maybe i’m wrong ( like im wrong for sure to even try to answer to this 😅 so please don’t hurt me) but
maybe cause not all the dinosaur where ‘sauro ‘ some others needed that kind of Dna to do that ? 🫣 i don’t know help.
P.s. Jurassic Park 1993 Team here. And proud 😂 ( What i mean is that i’ll try to defend them like my own soul but im surely wrong about everything about them because of my feelings 😂)
@@louvretreekay12_ well realistically speaking I'm ignorant about what dinosaurs in the movie are related more or less closely to the birds/lizards we know are capable of parthenogenesis, my thought was just these organisms are certainly more closely related and thus more useful to "patch the corrupted dna up" than amphibians, being from a different clade entirely.
But then again, the mechanism by which the conflict in the movie is triggered doesn't really take away from it, it's still a cult classic for a reason. Must be amazing to have worked on that kind of pop cultural milestone, I really envy you!
@@inkedfeathers7834 Of course you’re right. And actually made me realize that it is specified in the movie that dinosaurs have more in common with birds than amphibians so why the choice? Like really i am wondering at this point. Soooo confused.
Oh, i think you may have misunderstood my phrase when i said ‘team’ i meant that as part of the common audience i will forever prefer the original movie.
Oh my god imagine having someone as myself working at that masterpiece i don’t think it would have survived my input, in any way.
But i do feel proud that i got to see it when it came out.
It was like, if id have been waiting for it all my life, i bawled my eyes out and i still cry to this day when Sam Neil and Laura Derm characters ‘meet’ the dinosaurs.
And yes im sure we were lucky to witness that for the first time. And yes it was indeed a milestone, an immortal one. Thank you for reminding me how lucky i am and that my life is worth even for these little things.
I needed that.
@@louvretreekay12_ ok that's fair bahaha, I'm quite passionate about my I was here from the start franchises, but for something as big as Jurassic Park I have no equivalent haha that really is impressive, sticking to media for this long, but then again, what is there that really compares to jurassic park in terms of puppetry and impressive early cgi

@adrianjadude, you will be GONE. REALLY?? Blockhead😂😂
This should be made into a dystopian movie concept ASAP
Apparently all reptile have the possibility to do this.
Seems the bigger the reptile the less likely it is to happen… but the chance is still there.
We had a reticulated python at the Louisville Zoo that laid 61 eggs and I believe 6 of them hatched and are healthy. It was the first documented time a large snake ever spawned babes without a male.
crocs and reptiles in general afaik are solitary creatures, they like their own space. its healthier for them to be on their own, if there was a group, theyd likely get stressed and might even hurt each other. for anyone worried why this scaled lady was alone for 16 years
Oh
Uhhhhhhh, based on everything I've seen of crocs and gators in the wild, in rivers, swamps, ponds, whatever, there tends to be loads of them just chilling. I only ever see them alone while travelling from place to place.
And lots of reptiles are specifically communal, huddling together in piles for warmth 🐍. Lots of them lay all over eachother on basking rocks 🐢, or dangle off branches over rivers by the dozens or even hundreds🦎.
They might not be pack animals but not all reptiles are solitary or aggressive 🐊🐊🐊
However, individuals might be. She was probably kept alone to avoid pregnancy, to prevent potential fighting between animals if one becomes aggressive, and because feeding 2 crocs is expensive if you can get away with only feeding one 🫤
@@pvp6077 i dont know where you're getting this info but this is not hard to look up.
there is a big difference between being a social animal and tolerating others of your own species. for example, I keep a corn snake, and yes, if you introduce two young snakes, they learn to tolerate each other and occasionally "huddle each other for warmth".... (you do know reptiles are cold-blooded yes? there is no warmth to huddle for.) but it doesnt make their lives better.
some reptiles are easier to cohabitate in a group than others, i think that yes, turtles are a good example.
but crocs and alligators, lizards, snakes, those are mostly animals that like their own space.
this is also captivity we're talking about here. there's only so much space you can give these animals, space that would not be this limited in the wild. with crocs that are generally quite territorial, having a big group just wouldnt make sense. also, if you're keeping an animal, you want it to be as healthy and comfy as it can. which doesn't work if you have a smaller croc in the same habitat that is getting bullied daily by the bigger croc.
so what im trying to say, maybe think twice and post once, you know? like, do i have info on this, or am i seeing things from my limited perspective and feel like typing a comment rn. i dont like commenting exactly for this reason, but i also dont like it when people measure everything against their own perspectives so i felt like reminding people these animals have different needs than us and maybe trust a little in the people who spend their lives on these animals that they know what theyre doing
Crocs are archosaurs, a subtype, though. It really differs per species.
For pets, we keep them in small spaces where there's no room to choose...
Look in the wild and see if they choose to be alone or together.
(Even the solitary ones like to mate)
Didn't know they are extreme introverts
'Don't need blokes' - and the blokes avoid the grief and the alimony. - Good arrangement.
As Malcolm said in Jurassic Park,” life finds a way”.
And then three wise crocodiles arrived from the East, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and frozen chicken carcasses.
Those frozen chicken carcasses would be much more useful than frankincense
We got a Jesus crocodile now huh
I feel like Mary crocodile makes more sense
@@potatertots2060 yeah except if this was the case in the bible, Jesus would’ve had to have been female. Since he was a guy, we all know what really happened 😏

@@kikiburrito

That's the reason they're prehistoric and still survives today
this is the real example of "life finds a way" in Jurassic. So it really did happened in the era of dinosaurs.
Actually, parthenogenesis is a fairly poor way to reproduce long term, because there is no genetic diversity. So if you have an animal that has genetic faults, cloning itself, those genetic faults get cloned as well.
Yes along with having the same weaknesses to disease. So a simple cold, fungus, bacteria, virus or parasite could kill the entire population because there is no diversity
True, but also you don't get the introduction of other defects from a different entity.
@@angel794True, but you do get the compounded problem that without genetic variation, the same thing that easily kills one creature will easily kill the other until they could all go extinct 😥
@@sporilight genetics mutation also happens these cases because they are not the perfect copies of their mothers, genetics redistribution happens here 👍
@@cheguervera But how frequently? It can't be as frequent and strong as mixing parent genes and having survival of the fittest allow the next generation to reproduce, right? Especially in species where they can produce many offspring per pregnancy with different genes. I genuinely don't know 🤷♀️
"Life, uh, finds a way"

"Life always finds a way"
Parthenogenesis has been documented in many vertebrate animals. Except mammals. And it's certainly impossible for humans to have "virgin birth". We lost that reproductive ability because of our mammalian genomic imprinting. Mary has some explaining to do.
A frog did it. Shes protecting him by remaining silent. True love.

always remember that jurassic Park quote, life finds a way
1 of my 2 Molly fish passed of old age so her younger friend got lonely and cloned a litter of nearly 40 friends.
did you know that stick incects dont need to breed to produce fertilised eggs, however all the stick incects thar hatch from the eggs will be female. For a stick incect to produce a male it does have to mate with a male. this has caused male stick incects to become endangered and rare to see.
Yeah I can imagine, if male x female = 50% male, but female by herself = 100% female.... that math naturally winds up out populating the males exponentially!
Interesting 👀
Female stick insects be like “hmm I fail to see the downside here” 😆

Creationists: There's no such thing as "evolution."
Evolution:
It actually inhibits variation or mutation which affects adaptability
@@Slade69 idk where I read it but apparently when this type of reproduction occurs, there is a higher chance for the babies to be male, kinda like a genetic solution to the problem of having too few/no males in a population. Also solves the characteristic of some reptiles gender being determined by the temperature of the area the eggs are in. Maybe it causes a bit of inbreeding for a bit but in the long run helps the species evolution and survival.
Didn't change species. Still a croc. In fact a clone so not even close to evolving to something else.
Besides, parthenogenesis is common in some nematodes.
@@solarpanda3401How can the offspring be male if it's essentially a genetic clone of the mother?
@@zeewanngenetics are complicated, and I can't give you the answer, but it does happen. I think if you search for 'David Attenborough parthenogenesis' you can find some informations on the topic.

Mother Nature 'don't need blokes.' Scary Jurassic Park stuff for sure.
So she essentially cloned herself? But my question is what was it that started that reproduction cycle? Do crocodiles have cycles like people or was it just spontaneous?
As much as I remember, only primates have periods, and since crocodiles are reptiles, they have estrus cycle (heat period) when they are sexually receptive.
No it’s a whole lot worse than cloning, she essentially interbred with herself leaving all the offspring pretty much genetically doomed. This kind of reproduction isn’t very good for genetic diversity, it’s the reason why it barely ever happens and when it does it pretty much cripples the offspring.
