A MESSIAH NAMED BRUCE?:

Pregnant Detroit Aquarium Shark Raises Eyebrows (Channel 4 Detroit, September 19, 2002)

Officials at the aquarium on Belle Isle are trying to figure out how one of their sharks got pregnant with no male shark around.

A white spotted bamboo shark hatched several eggs, but had not mated with a male shark, according to officials at the facility. The shark was in a tank with another female shark.

"We think it is a case of parthogenosis, virgin birth," said Doug Sweet, curator of fishes.
