Komodo Dragons
These mighty reptiles can reproduce via parthenogenesis, a process where females produce offspring without male fertilization, ensuring survival in isolated environments.
New Mexico Whiptail Lizards
Entirely female, these lizards clone themselves, producing genetically identical offspring through parthenogenesis.
Aphids
Known for their rapid reproduction, aphids can produce live young asexually during favorable conditions, allowing populations to explode quickly.
Starfish
Starfish can regenerate lost limbs, and some species can also reproduce asexually by splitting their bodies, with each part growing into a new starfish.
Hammerhead Sharks
In rare cases, female hammerhead sharks have been observed giving birth without mating, a survival strategy in the absence of males.
Bdelloid Rotifers
These tiny aquatic creatures have reproduced asexually for millions of years, thriving in diverse environments without the need for males.
Marbled Crayfish
An all-female species that reproduces through parthenogenesis, the marbled crayfish can produce large numbers of genetically identical offspring.
