An 18-year-old female crocodile who had no contact with males gave birth to a fully developed female crocodile fetus. Although the offspring was stillborn, this is the first time a case of "virgin birth" has been recorded in crocodiles. The female crocodile, Crocodylus acutus, has been in isolation at the Parque Reptilandia Park in Costa Rica for 16 years now.
