This Lizard Can Start a Population Alone

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]A Komodo dragon can have babies alone, and it gets weirder from there. When she does it without a male, every single baby comes out male, everyone. So now she has sons, sons that are basically copies of her, and then she mates with them. It's weird, but nature didn't design this to be comfortable. It designed it to work. One female washes up on an island alone, within two generations she's got a whole population going, males, females, the whole thing, built from scratch. No other animal pulls that off quite like this.
