Scientists have identified the first case of a boa snake having a "virgin birth".
The female boa gave birth to 22 baby snakes but without ever having mated with a male, while not common virgin births can occur in the animal kingdom however it is exceedingly rare for a vertebrate species.A female boa constrictor snake has given birth to two litters of extraordinary offspring. Evidence suggests the mother snake has had multiple virgin births, producing 22 baby snakes that have no father.
