TL;DR Summary

A stingray named Charlotte at the Aquarium and Shark Lab by Team ECCO in North Carolina is mysteriously pregnant despite there being no male stingrays in the tank. The aquarium suspects that Charlotte may have undergone parthenogenesis, a rare process where eggs develop without fertilization, or she may have mated with one of the young male sharks added to the tank in mid-July. The expectant mother is carrying up to four pups, and DNA testing will be conducted to solve the miraculous mystery. Updates on Charlotte's pregnancy will be posted on Team ECCO's website and Facebook page.
