Stingray who became pregnant without male companion dies: NC aquarium

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (WSPA) — Charlotte, the stingray who went viral earlier this year after becoming pregnant, despite not having shared a tank with a male of her species, has died.

The Aquarium & Shark Lab in Hendersonville, North Carolina, announced Charlotte's death on Facebook, noting that she had been receiving treatment from a medical care team and specialist.

Charlotte went viral in February after her handlers discovered she was pregnant without being in a tank with male stingrays in the last eight years.
