Turkeys can reproduce without having sex

Turkeys can reproduce without having sex !!

It's called parthenogenesis, meaning "virgin birth".


Turkeys aren't the only animals who can give birth as virgins - this form of asexual reproduction has been observed in ants, aphids, amphibians, lizards, and some snakes and fish. To date, it hasn't worked successfully in humans, but it is still being investigated.
