"she has never been exposed to a male Komodo dragon"
Oh sure, that's what they all say!

I think they need to check Nessie out just one more time.

I'd be embarrassed to admit that I just submitted this a minute or two ago....
Oops. *blush*
OTOH, I'm in good company!

Upon doing some research on the komodo dragon here's what I found out:
"The male Komodo dragon presses his snout to the female's body, and flicks her with his long, forked tongue to obtain chemical information about her receptivity. He then scratches her back with his long claws, making a ratchet-like noise. If unreceptive, she raises and inflates her neck and hisses loudly."
That just ooozes sensuality don't it girls???
I am SOOOO jealous!!

So, will they name the seven little bundles of joy after Santa's reindeer or the 7 Dwarves?
Posted by: Lairbo | December 20, 2006 at 04:18 PM
If only I had a nickel for every time a gal I was wooing inflated her neck and hissed...

That's pretty much what I do. Sometimes my wife says "Yeah, okay. Just don't wake me up."

Flora likes long walks on the beaches, red wine and toes.

The hover is more powerful than the click.
You didn't get me Addicted.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese | December 20, 2006 at 04:38 PM
You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will... breed?
No, I'm simply saying that life, uh... finds a way.

Alrighty then, I guess the 3 wise men of zoology (wearing steel-toed boots and snake ties)along with the sharks and other top memebers of the food chain, will follow the light (hanging in the cage) bringing gifts of perfume and other delights
Posted by: qsman | December 20, 2006 at 04:46 PM
Clearly this dragon has a story and she's sticking to it.

caseyMany People on getting posted!Posted by: Siouxie | December 20, 2006 at 06:22 PM
When I saw this I had the frightening thought that now reptiles can reproduce by themselves. Oh, God, we'll be overrun! Should I go buy a shotgun?

Away in a manger,
No dude for their dad
The fatherless dragons
Tried not to be sad
The bureaucrats gathered
And ruined the calm
The fatherless dragons
Were named after Mom!

I just learned about the ZW system (as opposed to XY) a couple of months ago. Otherwise, this would be much more of a mindf@ck. HOORAY! I LIEK SCEINCE!
(No, I do not dislike spelling.)
Posted by: Glix | December 20, 2006 at 07:01 PM
well done CJ!! LOL

"Thanks to many people, sthnbelle first... and Edgar last." I just sent the article in now.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 20, 2006 at 08:08 PM
It's all due to Basic Instinct, nudge, nudge, wink, wink. How many dicks does a Male dragon have? Maybe he floated the sperm on the breeze.

First virgin chimps giving birth now virgin dragons. What's next?
