(8 years ago)Although it was known that hermaphrodism was found in sharks, there had never been seen such a special case as an specimen captured in recent days by Taiwan's fishermen.

The shark had two chlaspers (longs), like the penis that makes up the male sex organs of the species, but from the further study of the specimen, it showed that there were also ostensaries, gonnades that consist of invarian tissue and testiocular tissue, which means that the shark had the reproductive organs of the two genders.
Hermaphrodism takes on different features in various species, but so far they have been observed when sharks are classified as those who experiment with protraditarians, so that they first develop male organs and then undergo changes in femininity and those who experiment with indirect protogy.
So far there was never found an specimen that had both organs.
Does this mean that a shark will fertilize itself? Biologists say that this may be possible in theory, even though they have never observed anything similar in nature. It has been proved that in some cases the female hammer shark can be cloned in itself.
It happened in 2001 at Omaha's Henry Doorly Aquarum, Nebraska, where a female gave birth to a creature in this way. However, such occasions are unusual. /The world.al
