*At the time this video was made, it had been reported that Charlotte the round ray was pregnant. However, new information has come out that she was never pregnant with parthenotes, and in fact had a reproductive disorder, which is a bummer. Everything else in this video is accurate and unchanged by this news, but we wanted to be transparent that the introduction of this video contains outdated and incorrect information.*
