More shark "hanky panky"!
Apparently, that is the appropriate scientific terminology. Courtesy of CNN:
I urge you to read the entire story. My favorite part is when the pregnant shark, high on shark sedatives, attacks the scientists before dramatically expiring. She's all, I'll physical you, bitches! I'm two sharks in one!
NORFOLK, Virginia (AP) -- Veterinarian Bob George sliced open the dead shark and saw the outline of a fish.
No surprise there, since sharks digest their food slowly.
Then George realized he wasn't looking at the stomach of the blacktip reef shark, but at her uterus. In it was a perfectly formed, 10-inch-long shark pup that was almost ready to be born.
George was dumbfounded.
He had been examining the shark, Tidbit, to figure out why she reacted badly to routine sedatives during a physical and died, hours after biting an aquarium curator on the shin. Now there was a bigger mystery: How did Tidbit get pregnant?
"We must have had hanky panky" in the shark tank, he thought.

"the pup likely would have been born and immediately eaten by another shark, without aquarium employees ever knowing it had existed. But Tidbit's death led to George stumbling upon a mystery of nature."
I'm sure this is great comfort to the "pup" up in Shark Heaven.
