Did a shark produce offspring with a stingray? Sensation expected in US aquarium. A stingray named Charlotte is expecting offspring without having had any contact with male conspecifics.
The aquarium staff's theory: One of the two sharks in the same tank impregnated the stingray. Bite wounds could be an indication of fertilization by a shark. DNA test can then be used to determine whether the two marine animals are a crossbreed. If sharks and stingrays really have bred in North Carolina, it would mean a new hybrid animal.
