Individual organisms are obviously rarely symmetrical themselves, so symmetry is referring to a perfect example of the species. There are 3 types of symmetry present in organisms.
The first is bilateral symmetry. This is probably the most common, and it is present in humans. It means that the organism can be cut in half and produce two equal sides in one and only one way.
The next is radial symmetry. Radial symmetry means that the animal can be cut in half and produce two equal sides in multiple directions, like a sand dollar or a sea star.
The last, which your question is about, is asymmetry. This mean the organism exhibits no symmetry at all. An example of this is something like a common sponge in the class demospongiae. Hope this helps!
Animals lacking symmetry are known as asymmetrical. This means they lack spherical, radial, and bilateral symmetry. Most commonly, this can be seen among sponges. (yes, sponges are animals :O )
All animals start out with some sort of symmetry but then some lose it as they develop into their adult form. One good example would be the oyster.

What ocean animal has radial body symmetry?
Jellyfish are ocean animals with radial symmetry.
How many lines divide an animal with bilateral symmetry?
No, radial symmetry has the one with many lines.
What are two main types of animal symmetry?
There are two main types of animal symmetry: bilateralsymmetry and radial symmetry. Bilateral symmetry is when you cut the object in half, it looks the same on both sides: Humans, cats, dogs, butterflies Radial symmetry is when it has body parts all around coming out of the middle: Sea Urchins, coral, sea anemones There are two main types of animal symmetry: bilateral symmetry and radial symmetry.

What does an animal that has distinct left and right sides show?
the animal has a dorsoventral! hope this helps!
Where are the sense organs of an animal with bilateral symmetry typically found?
There found in the back.
What can you infer about an animal based on its symmetry?
you can tell if an animal have bilateral symmetry if you cut the animal in half, (hypothetically) and both sides are the same
What is a peacock's symmetry?
If a animal has a head then its body symmetry is bilateral.
Body Symmetry of animals?
How can you identify the body symmetry of an animal
Which animal adaptation happened first?
Bilateral Symmetry
What do you call an animal with no symmetry?
When it has no symmetry the object is called asymmetrical.
What animals has radial symmetry?
One animal that has radial symmetry is a sea sponge.
Does a rectangle have line symmetry without rotational symmetry?
No A rectangle has rotational symmetry as well
What are the 3 types of symmetry?
Bilateral Symmetry - Right down an animal (Worm or fish)Radial Symmetry - Symmetry like a circle (E.g - Starfish)Asymmetrical - No symmetry
If an animal has a front end and a back end what kind of symmetry does it have?
Opposite symmetry LOL :)
What ocean animal has radial body symmetry?
Jellyfish are ocean animals with radial symmetry.
Does an isosceles triangle have line symmetry without rotational symmetry?
Yes it does
Does a flower have a rotational symmetry?
Yes it does. As long as it has a symmetry without rotation. If you do the rotation either way it does have symmetry. :)
