Is the Mourning worth it?

Is the Mourning worth it? Some animal species can do very well without male partners. Mourning geckos are just one of many examples. Their reproduction method known as parthenogenesis is our natural phenomenon of the week! More or less once every two to four weeks over her five-year lifespan, the female mourning gecko goes through the same ritual: The reptile begins the search for a well-protected place to hide one or two of her eggs. 50 to 75 days later, new geckos hatch from these eggs. Not very spectacular, right? But the nocturnal climbers look exactly like their mother. And if they lay eggs, once they reach maturity after eight months, their offspring will look exactly like them. That's because mourning geckos clone themselves — and all of them are female. No males are required to reproduce.
