The ability of an animal to reproduce without fertilization of the egg by a male is called parthenogenesis, a type of asexual reproduction. Several species of New Mexical Whiptail live in entirely female populations where the adults lay eggs that grow into mature female adults without any genetic contribution from a second parent. Other species that reproduce using this method are aphids and daphnia. Amoeba also reproduce asexually, but they are protists, not animals.

you're concerning a digenean. Digeneans are a team of flatworms (many times familiar as flukes) that have complicated existence cycles with distinct hosts (2, now and lower back 3 thoroughly distinct animals). for many digeneans, the intermediate host (the place their larval types stay) is a mollusk including a snail, and then the well-known host (the place they stay as adults and reproduce) is a vertebrate. The Small Liver Fluke (clinical call Dicrocoelium dendriticum) is a parasite of mammals (alongside with rabbits besides as farm animals and sheep). The eggs of the fluke are expelled with the feces of the host, fall to the water and are eaten by way of some land snails. Then the larvae hatch interior the snail, break out in its slime, and infect ants. The parasite takes administration of the ant's apprehensive equipment and modifications its habit, so as that it spends the night putting directly to a blade of grass. Then the mammalian herbivore comes alongside, eats the contaminated ants alongside with the grass, and receives the parasite. BTW, there are certainly fungal parasites that still substitute the habit of bugs (quite ants), yet they are no longer close family of those animals in any respect.

Many kinds. Bacteria, amoeba, and other unicellular animals can. They split their cells in two. Frogs are NOT hermaphrodites, but earthworms are. Hermaphrodites can reproduce by themselves if both of the sperm and egg cell is ready to meet. But, if they can mate, they mate. Planaria can divide themselves in two, and each part grows into a new planaria. Starfishes can grow their arms if cut, even if it's cut in two, resulting in each part grows into a new starfish. This is because it has high regeneration power. Hydra can also do this, by growing some kind of "sprout" on its body. When the "sprout" is adult, it detaches from the mother.

Many, but not all, single-celled organisms reproduce asexually through binary fission. Some single-celled organisms rely on one or more host organisms in order to reproduce, but most literally divide into two organisms.

Asexual organisms (like bacteria), parthenogens or hermaphrodites (plants being the most common) can all reproduce by themselves.

Waking sticks. Females clone them self's and have hundreds of babies. males are very rare if a male mates with a female then it will be like the male. But most are only females.
