Animals can reproduce asexually via parthenogenesis, a rare process observed primarily in captivity.
Some animals can reproduce without a mate through a process called parthenogenesis, which involves a female's egg fusing with another cell, often a leftover cell from a previous process.
This asexual reproduction occurs in some plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and fish; however, it is rare and mainly observed in captivity.
Scientists understand how it happens, but are unsure why it occurs.
