Researchers find free-living parthenogenesis in the wild for the first time in history. Parthenogenesis is one type of asexual reproduction which, in this case, has a creature developing from an unfertilized egg. A female sawfish will give birth to a baby sawfish without the aid of a male sawfish. It’s been observed that this type of reproduction is taking place in the wild in an area where this particular species of sawfish is endangered. In other words: “Life finds a way.”
