Yes.Im sure there are a few species of shark which reproduce asexually.The females store sperm in there bodies.

First of all, sharks are fish, not mammals. Secondly, females storing the sperm still constitutes a sexually reproducing species because the sperm comes from a male.

Scientist [sic] found that hammerhead sharks can reproduce asexually in captivity.


And sharks are, of course, not mammals. With the(possible)exception of parthenogenesis, mammals rely exclusively upon sexual reproduction.


There is a tiny chance (as in "being struck by lightning once per month for a year" tiny chance) that any female mammal could become pregnant spontaneously, which is known as parthenogenesis, where a female's

egg becomes a zygote all by itself due to biochemical conditions that are not fully understood. The zygote would be a genetic clone of its mother, since it only has her DNA. This has only been observed in mammals by scientists who are trying to artificially induce parthenogenesis as a part of cloning attempts.

Mammals are animals with mammary glands (e.g. breasts for human beings). Since this requires a separate gender (female), all mammals in the world reproduce sexually. While the platypus and spiny anteater are monotremes (egg-laying mammals), they also reproduce sexually.

Asexual reproduction in mammals has been accomplished in a lab but is not a naturally occurring phenomenon.

Some may be, but that is not how they reproduce. Mammals have two genders (male and female) and the male must sexually fertilize the female's egg cell to begin the process.

Many types of stickbugs are parthenogenic (females producing fertilized eggs without a mate), as are marmorkreb crayfish. To date there are no known males of this crayfish...
