Certain animals, such as some species of sharks, reptiles (like Komodo dragons and some species of snakes), and invertebrates (like certain insects and crustaceans), are capable of a reproductive process called parthenogenesis, where females can produce offspring without fertilization from a male. This occurs through various mechanisms, such as the duplication of chromosomes or the fusion of two egg cells. Parthenogenesis allows these animals to reproduce in the absence of a mate, although the offspring are typically genetic clones of the mother.

Yes, some animals are capable of asexual reproduction through mechanisms such as parthenogenesis. For example, certain species of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates can reproduce without fertilization by a mate. However, true self-impregnation, where an individual fertilizes its own eggs internally, is rare in the animal kingdom.
