Yup, it's true. Except it's a Komodo Dragon. It's still impressive, just not as impressive as if it had been a mammal. "Flora has never mated, or even mixed, with a male dragon, and fertilized all the eggs herself, a process culminating in parthenogenesis, or virgin birth. Other lizards do this, but scientists only recently found that Komodo dragons do too." Apparently the eggs (which will all be male) might hatch on Christmas, what new religion would form if that happened?
Update: Scott Adams take on this is hilarious.

I would suggest "Kommodaism" but that sounds a little too much like the worship of a toilet. Which brings to mind so many days of Sigma Tau Gamma parties spent worshiping the porcelain altar, something no one really needs to study as a following.
Scott Adams' Take on all this is tremendous:
