There are many unique things in the world that people are shocked to know about them. A Brazilian python imprisoned in England did something similar, which shocked the experts. A ‘male’ (Snake considered Male Pregnant England) python has given birth to 14 children without a partner. This snake has been named after the great footballer Ronaldo (Ronaldo Snake Give Birth to 14 Snakes) and for the last 9 years this snake had not come in contact with any other snake. So how did this miracle happen? Experts explained how this was possible.

First of all, let us satisfy your curiosity that how can a male give birth to children! According to BBC report, Ronaldo is a 13-year-old rainbow boa constrictor python who lives in captivity in City of Portsmouth College, England and has given birth to 14 children there. For the past several years, Ronaldo was considered a male python, but when he gave birth to children, it was known that he is not a male but a female.

What was thought to be a male, turned out to be a female!
Pete Quinlan, the college’s animal care technician, said that Ronaldo was thought to be a male, but after the birth of the child, it was discovered that he was a female. But what is even more surprising is that Ronaldo has not come in contact with any partner for the last 9 years, despite that he gave birth to 14 children, which is quite surprising. This snake giving birth to children in this manner is called Virgin Birth.
Snake got pregnant without a partner
According to the report, this process is called ‘parthenogenesis’. This is asexual reproduction in which the embryo develops without fertilization. It has been seen only 3 times that pythons of this species have given birth to children without a partner. Pete said that he had rescued Ronaldo 9 years ago from the charity organization RSPCA. According to the report, in February this year in America, a sting ray also became pregnant without a partner.
