Charlotte the stingray in a small North Carolina aquarium has been attracting visitors since she got pregnant without a mate. Businesses in Hendersonville are delighted by the influx.

A couple of doors down at the Mast General Store, manager Travis Spencer has been getting more customers, too. Part of the proceeds go back to the aquarium to honor the work of the Team Ecco Aquarium and Shark Lab founder, former teacher, Brand Ramer.
