There is an entire species of lizards that do parthenogenesis. They are all female “clones” of the original lizard that started doing this, almost no genetic diversity, and evolutionarily a set back; but rather successful for all that.

The funny part (for me) is that they do “mate” each other, they are lezzie lizards and will only stimulate a pregnancy after getting frisky with a sister lizard.

I expect the militant feminists to be all over this research like white on rice!

That proves the old saying that *if you don’t have what you need, make do with what you got...*. Seems those snakes got lucky.
