A stingray that got pregnant at a North Carolina aquarium this winter despite not having shared a tank with a male of her species for many years has died.

The Aquarium and Shark Lab in Hendersonville said on Facebook late on Sunday that the stingray, Charlotte, died after getting a rare reproductive disease. It did not go into further detail.
