正如发现巨蜥单性生殖的英国的动物园管理员所描述的,像等公共汽车一样,等了好长时间,然后一群小蜥蜴就一股脑地都出来了。
As the British zookeeper who discovered virgin births in Komodos put it, rather like buses, you wait for ages and then loads of them come along all at once.
单性生殖的、与之有关的;
尽管其它种类的蜥蜴也会出现单性生殖的现象,但是这在科莫多巨蜥身上还是首次发现。科莫多巨蜥是蜥蜴家族中最大的种类。
Although other lizards are known to reproduce this way, it is the first time this process was recorded in Komodo dragons, which are the largest of the lizard family.
