Whiptail Lizard
Overview
Whiptail Lizard is a totem of the American Southwest. The four known species of whiptail lizard contain no males: their eggs contain baby lizards that are genetic copies of the mother. In effect, whiptail lizards clone themselves naturally. Whiptail Lizard loves females who are strong and independent. She will never accept a clutch that contains any male of any species as her daughters.

The Black Furies admire Whiptail Lizard and her daughters for their self-sufficiency, although they don't necessarily try to emulate them.
