Short Answer:Asexual animals are rare, but they exist. Most, but not all have a sexual reproduction phase.The exceptions are discussed below and in related links.Longer Answer:The term for asexual reproduction is parthenogenesis. Asexual reproduction in plants, fungi, molds and bacteria is commonplace. This answer deals animals and includes fish and insects and reptiles.A number of species can produce both sexually and asexually. This has been observed in some species of aphids, Daphnia, rotifers, nematodes. Some invertebrates, and . Apparently other Among vertebrates, certain lizards have this ability including Komodo dragons. Asexual reproduction is documented in two shark species, hammerhead- and blacktop.If one considers cloning a form of asexual reproduction, i.e. making identical copies of an original that was the result of combining male and female genetic materials, then a number of higher animals do this in the womb with the 9-banded armadillos being the most studied example. (Twins in humans and other animals are considered an accident version of this and not true asexual reproduction, but that is a matter of opinion.) Several insects (Hymenoptera) have this ability.The rarest form of animal asexual reproduction is obligate parthenogenesis where the species propagates with only an asexual mechanism.There are over 80 species reptiles, amphibians and fishes which no longer involve males in the reproductive process. Bdelloid rotifers have evolved in this manner as well as two species of stick insects.
