Nearly all animals make more of themselves the traditional way, by combining eggs and sperm. But some female birds, reptiles and other animals have an alternative called parthenogenesis: no males needed.

The Fort Worth Zoo is one of the few programs to successfully breed Texas horned lizards (Phrynosoma cornutum) in captivity, with the first zoo-reared group hatched in 2005.
They've been so successful, they've been able to release them back into the wild to bolster declining wild populations.
