"Scientists are unsure whether female Komodo dragons have always had this latent ability to reproduce or if this is a new evolutionary development."
I wonder what would happen if human females evolved this way :wink:

Being asexual must suck.
I mean...sitting on the couch eating chips and watching TV and all of a sudden "WTFBBQ I just got preggos?!!?"
Not exactly sure where I'm going with this but there are 2 thoughts
1) Shitty Godzilla movie
2) JESUS R HERE with bad karma and all!
"I came back as a lizard!? IN A ZOO!?"

I believe frogs can do this as well, if there are no males?

There is a species of desert lizard that does this as well, except there are no males at all just females.
Aphids are also only female and born pregnant.:looney:

I remember that jurassic park used this as a plot hole for the raptors and other dinosaurs to reproduce. The major flaw in the movie was that they used amphibian (frog) dna to make dinosaurs, which were reptiles, but whatever. The Jurassic Park movies kicked ass.

Saw it last year (or earlier...whenever it first aired), posted mistakes between ep and commercial footage (Deery didn't stutter in Stan's bedroom in the ep, but did in the commercial) to tv.com, and enjoyed it. Hail Satan! And yes: there is an animaed gif of the blood orgy.

It's Dragon Jesus, which would make for a hilarious Judgement Day before most of us are sent to hell or left to rot on Earth.

Not before The Raptor where all the lizards of the world disappear leaving the unholy remnants to suffer The Crocopolypse!

I thought they could only change sex not rape themselves?

Isn't there one species of lizard that is all female? I'm pretty sure I saw something about that on Animal Planet. It seems their eggs just sort of fertilize themselves, but the lizards still have to simulate mating, for whatever reason, in order for that to happen.

some lizards do re-produce without mating :S .

Left unchecked by Steve Irwin, the lizard population has begun to do strange and dangerous shit.

It is called the Whiptail.
And there is a difference between reptiles who have male and female counterparts (like Komodo Dragons) and an all female species that only makes females.
My theory is that something catastrophic occured in the past that reduced the population of reptiles nearly to nil, probably some kind of major volcanic eruption or space satellites (comet/asteroid/etc...), so to survive the remnants started self procreation. Since it takes a higher amount of sunlight and heat for reptiles to produce male eggs than females more females began to sprout and they continued to reproduce asexually until the male population returned to normal.
The whiptail lizards probably totally evolved to produce females because they repeated this natural reptilian process for millions of years and since they're smaller they had many more generations to evolve this adaptation into their DNA. It could also explain while the dinosaurs died out and many reptiles survived. Then again I'm no scientist.:razzy:

What the fuck barbque. It's actually pretty fucking old, but only started to be used on SRK like a year or so ago.
It's a forced(failed) attempt at being random. I can't help but think of some anime emoticon everytime I see it. "WTFBBQ @_@ :<!!" type shit.
Can't stand it, obviously. :(

Can't stand it, obviously. :(Actually, I believe that's a misconception.
WTFBBQ originally stood for "what the fuck, bitch be quiet" working pretty much in the same way as "stfu noob."
But due to its limited use and the fact that BBQ already stands for something in our culture, someone saw "WTFBBQ" and began using it as "WTF-Barbecue" to be random. This second use caught on far more than the original (intended) meaning.
Tomorrows episode: I reveal the origins of "lollerskates"!
...seriously.
