A baby shark was hatched at a Louisiana aquarium despite there being no male sharks in the tank for three years, the aquarium said.Footage released by the Shreveport Aquarium on Friday, January 24, shows members of the aquarium’s husbandry team helping the infant swell shark hatch from its egg earlier in the month.The aquarium said that the two female sharks in the tank had not been in contact with a male shark in three years, suggesting that the phenomenon occurred either due to delayed fertilization, or because of a rare form of asexual reproduction called parthenogenesis.The team said that they will have to wait a few months to take a blood sample from the newly hatched shark to determine the exact cause.“This situation is incredible and shows the resilience of this species,” said Greg Barrick, the Curator of Live Animals at Shreveport Aquarium. “It really proves that life … uh … finds a way.” Credit: Shreveport Aquarium via Storyful
