Condors, an endangered species, can reproduce without mating: study
ESCONDIDO, California - California condors, a critically endangered species, can reproduce without mating, according to a study by conservation scientists at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.
Steiner is also the co-author of the study published last week in the Journal of Heredity, the official publication of the American Genetic Association. "This is a very rare discovery because it's not well-known in birds in general. So it's known in other species, in reptiles and in fish, but in birds it's very rare, in particular in wild species," Steiner said.
Both chicks were underweight when they hatched, Steiner said. One was released into the wild and died at the age of two in 2003, while the other survived for eight years in captivity and died in 2017.
