Tests on Tidbit and the pup could confirm parthenogenesis, a second known case if male DNA is absent. Tidbit died after sedation complications, sparking a rare scientific mystery.

Georgia wildfire becomes region's largest in decades
In Waycross Georgia Ernest Sweat recalls spotting a growing blaze on April 16 that expanded into a 578000 acre wildfire across Georgia and Florida. The fire burned into the Okefenokee Swamp and merged with a lightning fire, with rain from Tropical Storm Barry and subsequent showers reducing activity to smoldering hotspots. About 600 firefighters remain on scene as 90 percent of the fire is contained and the Georgia Forestry Commission expects partial snuffing within three weeks.
