Saw this at the Aquarium in Long Beach, CA. What do you guys think? ---------- Post added 12th Aug 2010 at 03:08 PM ---------- Sorry the image is so big btw. I couldn't get it to shrink and still be readable.
It's pretty common in nature, actually, especially in marine species. In fact, clownfish do the same thing when no female is present. Nemo's dad should've technically turned into a "she," after Nemo's mom died, but Disney would probably not have been too happy with that.
that's how the dinosaurs in jurassic park started breeding remember? cause they used DNA from some frogs or something that change sex if there are no females present.
This happens in chickens as well, rarely. The hen can be totally healthy and laying perfect eggs before completely transforming into a rooster due to hormone changes~.
Researchers suspect that as many as 1 in 8 pregnancies start out as multiples, but only a single fetus is brought to full term, because the other has died very early in the pregnancy and has not been detected or recorded.
