Charlotte, stingray with virgin pregnancy, has reproductive disease, aquarium says

In a statement posted to Facebook on Thursday, the aquarium where the bottom-dwelling flat fish resides said that “reports show that Charlotte has developed a rare reproductive disease that has negatively impacted her reproductive system.” “We regret the delay of updates regarding Charlotte. This time was necessary to gather data and analyze lab and testing results,” the statement from Aquarium & Shark Lab by Team ECCO in Hendersonville, North Carolina, began.

The announcement left followers baffled as to how this could have happened and when these miraculous babies are going to appear. In April, the aquarium’s executive director, Brenda Ramer, told TODAY.com that even her understanding of the pregnancy had narrowed since she first announced the news. According to Ramer, the fish was adopted from a private home outside the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, and is estimated to be between 12 and 16 years old.
