There are two modes of asexual reproduction in metazoa: Regeneration and Parthenogenesis.
Regeneration can best be seen in Hydra and Planaria.
Parthenogenesis can be seen in Aphids and Rotifers.
There are other examples of both the categories.

Drone bees (males) are born from unfertilized eggs.
There are a few reptiles that do reproduce parthenogenically (rock lizards, whiptails, geckos); see link.
It has also been seen in domestic turkeys, although it has been said that those birds are not very healthy.

Females of some species of lizards fertalize their own eggs. I can't recall another specific example right now.

American Alligator would be one. I have no idea how many cells there are in a 'gator, but they have about enough teeth to cause me great anxiety.

Hope i am answering right. Aphids, some female turkeys can fertlize their own eggs and some frogs also.
