A genus of lizards known for their speed and, in some species, the ability to reproduce without males.
From Greek 'knēmis' (leg) and 'phoros' (bearing), referring to distinctive leg structures, the genus name of whiptail lizards.
Some Cnemidophorus females are clones of their mothers and don't need males to reproduce—they're nature's self-copying machines!
