Virgin Dragon Awaits Newborn

This Xmas, its not Santa who will be climbing down the chimney to leave behind presents.

This time around, the surprise is even bigger and better, especially for the folks staying in Chester, England.

I read here http://www.nysun.com/article/45568 that Flora, the Komodo dragon at the Chester Zoo, is due to give birth this holiday season and the surprise really is that she has conceived all on her own, without any help from the male counterpart.
Now, how's that for female independence...among reptiles that is!
The virgin dragon mother-to-be is said to be expecting seven young ones and what better time to celebrate their arrival than Christmas?!
Ho..ho..ho..ho & have a merry Christmas everyone!
