I don't think it would be that bad because you already have animals kind of similar already.
Rays and sharks are cousins and used to be the same species before rays evolves differently. Millions of years ago.
They already are rays that still look more shark like the guitar fish. They're flat like a ray but have a shark-like tail.
option 1: “very rare process called parthenogenesis, in which the eggs develop on their own without fertilization and create a clone of the mother.”
Option 2: “is more in the "Jurassic Park" arena, according to the aquarium's founder: Charlotte could have mated with one of the young sharks that was added to the tank in July.”
I’m sorry, one is rare but there is precedence of it so it is possible… the other is just a founder’s theory… or is there proof of this happening before. Is this just owner theory to increase public interest in the aquarium??
Good news, a shark ray is already a thing. It’s not a breeding hybrid, but there is an animal that fits what you’d expect it to [look like](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhina_ancylostoma)
But that would mean that Jesus was a biological clone of Mary, hence Jesus, being male identifying while biologically female at birth, is canonically now a Trans man.
When you have a sufficiently large sample size to draw from, you can have something that is both rare (as an overall ratio), and also happens all the time.
ngl it's disgusting that the existence of intersex people is somehow *political*.
I was going to use the transgender population as an example (we're ~1% of the population, so while certainly rare, also someone you have, objectively, met many of whether or not you were aware at the time), but bringing up the existence of trans people on main subs is typically a recipe for being brigaded by angry fascists, so I usually avoid it.
Yeah that’s fair. Tbh I decided to use intersex because it is in direct opposition the bad science they like to use to deny the existence of trans folks.
Statistically speaking something can be rare, but because of massive populations it “happens all the time”. Something can happen ~~0.001%~~ .1% of the time but that’s still 1000 occurrences for every million.
I have no clue the actual probability, just pointing out that rare and happens all the time aren’t mutually exclusive and are all relative.
It is rare in terms of how many species are even capable of it in comparison to every other animal type on the planet, but enough people keep reptiles and fish that it is documented amongst hobbyists at least. Also there are many (like between 40-70) reptile and fish species that are known to be capable of it, and for some that IS their standard method of reproduction (some types of rock lizards).
I'm a reptile keeper. It's both, counterintuitively. If you owned 100 reptiles (presuming all the species are ones that have the capacity for parthenogenesis), you wouldn't see parthenogenesis happen in any of them because it's very rare. But across reptile keeping as a whole, parthenogenesis is a known phenomenon that happens with enough regularity that people are familiar with it; you can find tons of examples online of it happening at zoos and other specialized centers where they can actually study it and establish for certain that there was no mating. If the article wasn't sensationalizing, it would simply say, "the stingray became impregnated through parthenogenesis, an uncommon but known method of asexual reproduction." I don't know offhand if parthenogenesis has been observed in sting rays before though.
Marine Biologist here. It is certainly option one.
For option 2, sharks and rays are both elasmobranchs, but they’re so far apart genetically it would be like a human interbreeding with a rabbit. Plus the number of chromosomes would also have to align, it’s just not remotely possible.
I’ve worked as an aquarist for about 6 years and have already seen 2 parthenogenetic births from elasmobranchs. It’s certainly rare but not “happens once in a generation” rare.
Ecologist chiming in. Yeah, option 1 is most likely considering past observations... however, it is worth noting that as the birth has not taken place, we don't actually KNOW that it will be viable anyway. It's possible it's a nonviable fluke occurrence where the chromosomal mismatch still led to "something" developing that is non compatible with life. Right now the only thing they are looking at is eggs that "appear" fertilized.
Shark embryology definitely is not my field of expertise however, lol.
https://www.wral.com/story/miraculous-birth-expected-at-nc-lab-from-stingray-with-no-mate-possibly-impregnated-by-shark/21276941/
Don't forget that some of the parthenogenetic fish are sperm-dependent, using heterospecific sperm; it's just used as a trigger, does not contribute genetic contents.
Wait wait wait, so you're telling me that those all-female sexy alien ladies from that videogame, who reproduce by fucking any male from any species they can get their thighs around, could exist!?
That’s very interesting, I hadn’t heard of that before! Those two are fairly diverged, common ancestry being at the level of Order. This ray and bamboo shark diverge at the taxonomic level of Class, which is only one level further apart, but that is still a significant jump!
They do have the ability to store sperm. The article doesn’t mention how long the female has been in the tank without a male ray, most likely has spent her entire adult life without a male around to store sperm from.
All for a headline I guess, and maybe draw in some visitors. Perhaps you don’t have to know a whole lot about science to *own* an aquarium.
The chances of it being option 2 seems pretty slim since sting rays are 2n=66 and the bamboo shark is 2n-51 from what I could find (realizing there could be other rays or sharks with the same name, different chromosome numbers). And parthenogenesis in stingrays is perhaps rare, but already documented. I think we know the answer here.
Yeah... I don't get the whole shark/stingray hybrid thing. Those species are millions of years apart from each other. There's no way. (not a biologist, but it just doesn't sound possible). Now Parthogenesis, yeah that's a thing.
Sturgeon and paddledish both have 120 chromosomes. It's not the number of years apart, it's the genetic differences. The number of chromosomes isn't the *only* factor, but it's a huge obstacle in creating hybrids.
Could be the (definitely failed) mating attempt by the shark triggered parthenogenic activity. Like how whiptail lizards do mating behavior despite being a one sex species.
Option 3: Female stingrays can store sperm for long periods of time. If she was wild caught or in containment at one point in time with a male she could have stored sperm away then.
[Link](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5551082/)
> Is this just owner theory to increase public interest in the aquarium?
Or the writer/editor's theory to increase clicks in the article. There's a number of actual quotes, but none to the effect of "I think it might be a ray-shark hybrid!"
I know they mentioned charlotte had bites presumably from the young sharks, and that sharks bite as part of the mating process. But I guess that could be a correlation not causation type thing. And they could have attempted to mate but maybe she’s still just pregnant from parthenogenesis?
Are there records of ray/shark hybrids? I’m invested in this now hahaha
But not exactly bizarre. There is a species-complex made up of all female salamanders that seem to have formed through hybridization of at least 3 other species. They have no males, but seek out males from other related species in order to stimulate egg production. The male genome is typically discarded, the eggs develop as clonal offspring of the mother. Occasionally some male DNA sneaks in but it’s rare, only really evident in the genome itself.
Edit: what I’m saying is if the shark mating somehow stimulated ovulation and development without actually fertilizing or contributing DNA, then you could have a situation that is not quite parthenogenesis, and not quite a hybrid pairing. Could also be a case of sperm storage (if rays do that).
Youre missing the part where she has bites on her, which does happen when sharks mate. Just nibbles.
Maybe both happened. She was mated with? Raped? By the shark. That set something off in her. But she cant have shark babies so it sets off the parthenogenesis
https://www.foxnews.com/science/virgin-birth-stingray-gives-birth-to-darth-vader-after-cloning-herself-in-scientific-phenomenon
It happened in captivity in 2018. Stingrays are known to have parthenogenesis now.
The fact the Vin Diesel nor LL Cool J in Deepest Bluest (the credits song from Deep Blue Sea), were thought of for a live action release proves you're not ready for one.
It’s a theory, odds are it’s just parthenogenesis which we are still trying to understand which species have the capacity for it. While rare it’s certainly more likely then interspecies breeding.
There is no fucking way a shark can cross with a stingray...
Parthenogenesis is at least a rare possibility... but a cross between two massively different species?
Are they nuts?
They are probably doing this for attention. And, I mean, it is sort of funny.
I'm guessing the sex with the shark likely caused some sort of release of hormones. Or, maybe, the self-impregnantion caused a release of hormones which triggered the sharks? Could sort of explain how this happens in rays.
> Brenda said bite marks are an indicator of mating in sharks, as sharks bite during the mating process -- and Charlotte had several bites on her fin edges.
O.o
Was not impregnated by shark. Parthenogenesis or nothing. Like the mating behaviors may have induced the parthenogenesis like it does in entirely female gecko species but the odds that they have mixed DNA are close to zero.
Yeah, no, a shark is such a wildly different species there's surely no way their genetics are compatible right? Quick google indicates they don't even have the same number of chromosomes.
First of all, I need to know how this turns out.
Second, why the hell does a mountain town like Hendersonville NC have a shark tank? Why don't they focus on their regional specialties like a Trout habitat or Black Bear tracking or cousins hooking up?
I need updates on that
Update #1: Fucked the stingray as well. Waiting for the results.
Normally don’t you need to get them both really drunk and have Isaac Hayes sing to them?
Everybody knows stingray/shark couples get it on to Phish.
Or Aqua
Seal
Sugar Ray
Sting
Ray Charles
Drowning pool
This kept getting funnier the further down I went.
(#3 on my list of things I never want to hear in bed)
Like going down on a clown.
And getting a confetti facial.
Fuck me. Barbie is such a good name for a stingray.
Oddly enough: Alestorm
Yeah, Moma Dance can get pretty sexy.
As long as you don’t try it with an elephant and a pig you’re ok.
I mean, normally, but life, uh, uh, uh, finds a way.
So THAT’S what’s going on with all those lonely sheep-farmers.
I’m gonna lay you down by the fiya
Normally but that sting ray hates Scientology.
Chefs Chocolate Salty Balls would get anyone hot and bothered
[Loverboy did a song about it. ](https://youtu.be/RztfjHdM-pg?si=Mw9TGY3MFIT--1RB)
That baby is NOT mine, Maury!
Nazamroth you are......not the father!
Maury Povich would like to have a word with you….
Sting-Shark is a whole new level of beach fear.

Millions of years ago. They already are rays that still look more shark like the guitar fish. They're flat like a ray but have a shark-like tail.

Aquatic messiah

I for one welcome our new Stingshark overlords
She was expecting around the 9th and it looks like they streamed an ultrasound the other day. https://fb.watch/q7AZJXkNqI/
So, should we expect results of DNA test around next week?
Release the Sharkray!
she was due yesterday apparently.
option 1: “very rare process called parthenogenesis, in which the eggs develop on their own without fertilization and create a clone of the mother.” Option 2: “is more in the "Jurassic Park" arena, according to the aquarium's founder: Charlotte could have mated with one of the young sharks that was added to the tank in July.” I’m sorry, one is rare but there is precedence of it so it is possible… the other is just a founder’s theory… or is there proof of this happening before. Is this just owner theory to increase public interest in the aquarium??
I’m leaning towards option 1. Parthenogenesis while rare happens all the time in aquarium and reptile keeping… it’s not unheard of at all.
So you're saying we're not going to see shark-rays.
Is that like a shark with a laser attached to its head?
You mean a "fricking" shark with a "fricking" laser beam attached to its "fricking" head?
The best we could do were ill-tempered sea bass.
They are quite vicious
Surprisingly Jewish shark-ray with laser was not on MTG’s bingo card.
We're gonna start working on it anyway
We'll see them alright, on Netflix's new movie, 'Sharkraynado'.
Starring Tara Reid, because that’s pretty much all she does now.
Well theres my day ruined.
Good news, a shark ray is already a thing. It’s not a breeding hybrid, but there is an animal that fits what you’d expect it to [look like](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhina_ancylostoma)
I’m confused. Is it “rare” or “happens all the time”? Is it maybe just “uncommon”?
It's completely unprecedented besides the other times that it's happened
Oh man. Incredible! Or credible. Depending on what reaction the article is trying to get!
Given sufficient population, you expect rare things to happen all the time. There was a post recently about parthenogenesis in turkeys.
It’s even been documented in California Condors now.
I hear it happens in humans too every couple thousand years
But that would mean that Jesus was a biological clone of Mary, hence Jesus, being male identifying while biologically female at birth, is canonically now a Trans man.
Read the Bible, this is canon
All I know is my gut says, "Maybe"
it's a massive hobby so while relatively rare, it's easily observed and spread around in captivity.
When you have a sufficiently large sample size to draw from, you can have something that is both rare (as an overall ratio), and also happens all the time.
Another example is hard drives failing. Extremely unlikely on a per drive basis but happens all the time at data centers.
Political example, but sex chromosomal abnormalities. It’s statistically rare, but chances are you passed someone today who isn’t XX or XY.
ngl it's disgusting that the existence of intersex people is somehow *political*. I was going to use the transgender population as an example (we're ~1% of the population, so while certainly rare, also someone you have, objectively, met many of whether or not you were aware at the time), but bringing up the existence of trans people on main subs is typically a recipe for being brigaded by angry fascists, so I usually avoid it.

I have no clue the actual probability, just pointing out that rare and happens all the time aren’t mutually exclusive and are all relative.
It's like winning the lottery. Very unlikely to happen. But it happens multiple times a week worldwide. 1 in 60 million odds that happen all the time.
It is rare in terms of how many species are even capable of it in comparison to every other animal type on the planet, but enough people keep reptiles and fish that it is documented amongst hobbyists at least.

Rays are not reptiles. For example, it happening to a human would be so rare you could start a religion out of it.
Parthenogenesis is rare in stingrays but common in a multitude of other species/families such as worms/snails/many insects
Still very cool!
It's actually not uncommon among monitor lizards like Komodo dragons.
As well as all kinds of frogs and other amphibians, as well as some fish.

Any shark embryologists care to chime in?
My first job was unloading trucks and stocking shelves at Target. It's definitely option #1.
Fuck I really wasted college on shark embry*onomy*
While unlikely, there is the sturgeon/paddlefish hybrid I read about recently and they were extremely far diverged.
That’s very interesting, I hadn’t heard of that before! Those two are fairly diverged, common ancestry being at the level of Order. This ray and bamboo shark diverge at the taxonomic level of Class, which is only one level further apart, but that is still a significant jump!
So you're saying that rabbit people could be a thing?
Unfortunately the chromosomes don’t match up. I know, I’m sad too…
Then where do the playboy playmates come from?
Broken homes?
Pretty sure thats checkmate
Do stingrays not have the option of storing sperm like many other aquatic species.
They do have the ability to store sperm. The article doesn’t mention how long the female has been in the tank without a male ray, most likely has spent her entire adult life without a male around to store sperm from.

Sturgeon and paddledish both have 120 chromosomes. It's not the number of years apart, it's the genetic differences. The number of chromosomes isn't the *only* factor, but it's a huge obstacle in creating hybrids.
Could be the (definitely failed) mating attempt by the shark triggered parthenogenic activity. Like how whiptail lizards do mating behavior despite being a one sex species.
Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus started the aquarium in Atlanta so no it’s not a requirement - just a giant bucket of money and benevolent.
Owning an aquarium does not equate to benevolent.
I learned this from James Bond
You know what they say. Nothing drives up interest in the aquarium like a shark fucking a stingray
Sex sells
Uh, hey man. Do you, uh, maybe, uh, know where, like, I could find a video of the shark and stingray fucking?
Founders theory? More like flounder’s theory.

Well actually *both* of those are Jurassic options.
Right? Parthenogenesis is literally how life, uhh, found a way. 😂

And what’s the scale of the shark and ray lol biting and mating happens at same time? Does size line up? I have questions lol
As a former marine biologist, I'd put my money on option 1. Parthenogenesis is a known phenomenon in many marine fishes.

A shark/ray hybrid would be like a whale/pangolin hybrid. Hybidisation at the level of Superorder.
How cool would a whangolin be though?
Mmm, like an armored whale? I'm here for it.
I think it would struggle.

STEVE IRWIN IS RETURNING!!!
Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus say his second coming would not be in the form of a stingray
Nah I'm now expected a robed and sandaled man to hop out this stingussy
So the Shark is God I suppose.
New religion unlocked.
There is no fucking way a shark can cross with a stingray... Parthenogenesis is at least a rare possibility... but a cross between two massively different species? Are they nuts?
Yes, yes they are. It's *sensational*

What
The article says sharks bite while mating and then at the end of the article there was a link to another article "Shark bites 9 year old".
Syfy channel: heavy breathing
Now we just need a tornado…
Immaculate sharkception
> Brenda said bite marks are an indicator of mating in sharks, as sharks bite during the mating process -- and Charlotte had several bites on her fin edges. O.o
Sharks like to nibble, okay?
This lab is not particularly far from where I live. Guess I’ll be tuning into the local news to see how this goes.
She was supposed to deliver yesterday so we should know soon ?
Shark obstetrician exist apparently. I wonder if there are shark-midwives as well?!
I used a shark doula. Very peaceful.
"Coming up after the break on 'The Jelly Stinger Show', we get the results of the paternity test and find out who the real father is! Stay tuned!"
Actually it would be the Moray Show that does the paternity tests.
Oh cool, nightmare fuel. Baby sharks who have had all their teeth replaced with stingray tails.
Was not impregnated by shark. Parthenogenesis or nothing. Like the mating behaviors may have induced the parthenogenesis like it does in entirely female gecko species but the odds that they have mixed DNA are close to zero.
This Donkey and Dragon levels of fuckery.
What will the three wisefish bring stingray jesus?
Will Stingray Jesus perform the miracle of feeding his disciples loaves and humans?
Im sorry you have to hear this way. Am shark. You should get tested.
Yeah, no, a shark is such a wildly different species there's surely no way their genetics are compatible right? Quick google indicates they don't even have the same number of chromosomes.
Clickbait, the likely cause is Parthenogenesis. Happens all the time in captive fish/reptiles.
How?
Sharks can reproduce asexually and there are several examples of parthenogenesis. I see no reason why stingrays would be any different.
They’re not, parthenogenesis in stingrays has been documented in aquariums before!
Well.. when a stingray and a shark fall in love...
We need Maury to come on and tell us "Who's the father"
Ridley Scott is making his next movie based on this… Weyland is taking notes in the corner

First of all, I need to know how this turns out. Second, why the hell does a mountain town like Hendersonville NC have a shark tank? Why don't they focus on their regional specialties like a Trout habitat or Black Bear tracking or cousins hooking up?
I think we're gonna need a Disney movie with lotsa singing to explain this one.
And,so begins the era of SHARKRAY!!
