    A virgin birth is expected this Christmas, though this particular nativity scene will be set in a zoo instead of a stable.

    That's because the virgin in question is Flora the Komodo dragon, a giant lizard at Chester Zoo in England that has laid fertile eggs despite never having had a mate.

    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.
