  yeah thats what i was thinking hell look at cuddlefish they literally mate with a bunch of males, save their sperm separately in packets and then pick the ‘best’ to optimize the genetic quality. nature is wack. would be wild to learn another creature unlocked Parthenogenesis tho.

    Cuddlefish are a fictional species from the game Subnautica. I think you mean cuttlefish.

    Sounds like they’ve perfected the process and us humans could learn a thing or two from them 😄

    I just kind of assumed that stingrays were capable of parthenogenesis.

    Did a cursory search and this was the first result which put a dampener on the whole situation unfortunately.
