Mystery about ray offspring: Charlotte is pregnant. Stingray Charlotte actually lives celibate in the USA, because a male of the species does not swim in the same pool.

Nevertheless, the animal is now expecting young. This raises questions and causes wild speculation. However, scientist Kady Lyons from the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta believes that mating with the animals is almost as impossible as a second Christmas story. Unlike most other fish, stingrays do not lay eggs but give birth to live young.
