partheno-genesis (pär‘thÉ™nÅjÄ•n‘É™sÄs)
[Greek,=virgin-birth]
Another parthenogenetic species is the whiptail lizard, these creatures survive with an entirely female population sans males.
This colony of fatherless, Amazonian lizards are able to create life yet retain their virginity.
Every egg that hatches has a possibility of becoming a Messiah.
Jim Morrison, The Lizard King, could not have reigned over these Wonder Women of reptiles.
