Best Answer

There are very few larger animals that reproduce asexually. (The "a" prefix means "not"; so "asexual" means "non-sexual". )

Among the more interesting ones are some species of shark. Under rare circumstances, female sharks in aquariums may lay eggs which will hatch into new, identical female sharks without the presence of any male sharks. There are some species of lizards capable of this as well.

Among mammals, none reproduce asexually.

No. Seahorses, like other fish, are sexual, and the female lays eggs which are fertilized by the male.

No, animals either reproduce sexually or asexually. In sexual reproduction, two parents are required and an offspring is born with inherited genes/characteristics of both parents.
