Charlotte the mysteriously pregnant stingray may already be my favorite animal of 2024.
The aquariumannouncedCharlottes pregnancy in early February.
The strange thing, however, is that Charlotte has had no male stingray suitors as of late.

Last July, the aquarium did move a pair of one-year-old white-spot bamboo male sharks into Charlottes tank.
And afterward, employees did notice bite marks on Charlotte, which can be a sign of shark mating.
So the aquarium pondered early on whether it was possible for Charlotte to have successfully bred with the sharks.
Those still hoping against hope to see a sharkray will have to wait a little longer.
But its expected that she will give birth any day now.
