Attack of the Clones: Creature That Started as Pet Now Multiplying Out of Control

Proof that a Cajun will NEVER go hungry.

Germans see them as pests...

Cajuns see them as one hell of a bottomless feast. I'll bring the crawfish boil... German's have the beer...

If the species only clones itself, I think it would be harder to breed in desired traits.

The cloning process as presented would make it harder to adapt to environmental changes.

There is a reason why the transfer of DNA material from two adults with successful traits for survival is a prevalent reproduction method.....

If you read the Wikipedia link there is a salamander that they have found to have been doing this for over a million years no males at all.

Dont forget evolution is adaptation to adversity and that being the case the less adversity the more diversity

It might be able to adapt to either like the bull shark fresh or salt water for them and they are people eaters not the one eyed one horned flying sort though.

Who has crayfish for pets? Aren't they more a dinner item?

I wonder how they taste..maybe good enough to eat.

Like Lobster. Sort of but muddied more metallic tasting
With a much smaller payoff

There ya go. Mud bugs. Good bait.

People that like aquariums do as an interesting addition to their tank... I like aquariums mine when I have kept them are too healthy though if that is such a thing; where they grow green all over the sides that tries to trail outside in just a few days... even when taking care of them to prevent it as suggested every few days it would be covered.

:p hmmm maybe crayfish would eat it?

Oh boy.

This will not end well.

sensing a disturbance in the force? Its life no matter to the manner where such a force is involved... its symbiosis life and matter cling to each other every where, matter clings to itself and life clings to itself only in ignorance does any rule the other.

He didn't clone himself.

Personality types were so different that using two people for the same job would be easily noticeable.

He's now in prison and the clones are living normal lives.

a reply to: and14263

that is mental , do you know him well enough that youd be able to get the details of where he is being held in prison , so that we can write him and get him to tell his story ?

Claiming to have cloned humans and have them be integrated into society as normal humans , is very impressive and quite a tale , im sure the international community would have a lot to say about the ethics of such a practice

Klong Prem Central in Thailand.

My feeling is that cloning, viruses, AI, WMDs - there are people with millions of dollars to spare making and researching these things behind closed doors. Take Elon Musk, his personal fantasy is a relatively harmless way of spending millions pursuing his hobby.

I didn’t say it doesn’t jet the job done. I just pointed out it’s shortcomings. And there is a better method of creating genetic diversity. A method that is widely successful.

but... if they get healthy chimps pimped/cloned .... who is real out there in the public today. people in hollywood movies also act like they are not in their real body and like to die easily(like a terroristt), like uploaded in a clonebody. WHERE THEY(real body) ACTUALLY AT A SPACESPACE

a reply to: neutronflux

True in the classic sense; but think of star wars or simple economics where clones are involved if someone needs rapid production of bodies for a task adult bodies especially then cloning and doing it rapidly would have to side step all the mating rituals and childhood business, and in the case of biosynthetic like those presented in terminator making up for the weaknesses found in the flesh form but cloaked in skin to not rouse suspicion and blend in like a chameleon for camouflage... there are ethical and rational reasons for all of those, including the old standard but to the salamander a million years is the old standard about now... the males were probably too busy in fighting and display for mates and also one that shared and depleted the food resources so in evolution they like a dendrite being shortened got deleted from nature as a useless appendage not required for the species to continue in propagation.

What about the Immaculate Conception?

a reply to: Zeta Reticuli

Spontaneous Pregnancy

It's a known phenomena the biblical one just happens to be the most famous.

Edit to add before someone says it is not the same or a case of infertility; yes it is Jesus according to Matthew had four brothers and a couple of sisters. One of my friends is a product of such a birth his parents adopted and fostered then he one day showed up... his mom had her tubes tied decades before, then later in regret of their decision decided to adopt and foster then poof she was mysteriously pregnant with him tubes still tied.

I joked with him once, not being Jesus but that they could have sued; he was but that would have meant I was unwanted lol

What species are you talking about?

This one....

All-Female Hybrid Salamanders Take Genes From Males Of Three Different Species To Breed
www.iflscience.com...


A type of salamander has been found to mate with males from three different species, and then use their genes in equal parts to produce offspring, which all happen to be females.

This All-Female, Polyamorous Salamander Has Three Genetic Daddies

www.sciencealert.com...

That's not to say they've done away with sex altogether - they still seek a male from another closely related species, have a quick dalliance, and use their sperm to kickstart the reproduction process.
