Charlotte the stingray is an internet sensation. Why you ask? Because she's currently pregnant and despite researchers attempts, no one knows how!

Charlotte has been in a tank in North Carolina, with no male sting rays in sight. So is this a case of sisters doing it for themselves? Or has some kind of cross breeding happened with Moe and Larry, two male white spot bamboo sharks that occupy the same tank?

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a stingray expert to find out just how likely it is that Charlotte is about to be a mum to shark-ray babies.
