Sept. 11 (UPI) -- A British zoo announced the hatching of eight iguana babies with an unusual parentage -- they have no father.

The Exotic Zoo in Telford, England, said the female casque-headed iguana laid a clutch of fertilized eggs, despite having never shared an enclosure with a male of her species.

The eggs hatched in late August and the zoo is now caring for eight babies, which are all genetic clones of their mother.
