These animals can produce a baby without mating

The vast majority of animals need to breed to reproduce, but a small number of species can have offspring without mating. The process is known as parthenogenesis, which is Greek for "virgin birth." It's a form of asexual reproduction in which the production of offspring occurs in the absence of any male genetic contribution. Females produce unfertilized eggs that will develop into viable embryos. While many people may be shocked by this behavior, parthenogenesis is surprisingly common with various organisms, including plants, insects, fish, and reptiles. Because mammals, including human beings, require certain genes that come from sperm, mammals are incapable of parthenogenesis. Click on to discover the animals that can produce offspring all by themselves.
