I just saw a show on TV that introduced this lizard, Leiolepis ngovantrii, and they are all females, no male of them exist. They reproduce with the process called parthenogenesis.

These lizards were scientifically discovered only last year, but in a part of Vietnam, they have been a delicacy for quite some time now.
Have you heard of this? Would you try it?

Hi Lore2009 that's some pretty interesting news. I knew that Komodo Dragons were able to reproduce without mating but I didn't know about this smaller lizard. And to answer your question YES I wouldn't mind tasting the animal if cooked probably, lol.
