In any gregarious social animal, there is a hierarchy in the group largely centred around sexuality. I would venture to suggest that SOME subordinate animals of social species (eg. wolves, lions, meerkats, great apes) are to some degree asexual. They don't particularly contest the alpha animals because they don't particularly care if they get to mate or not.
Animals and protists are not the only organisms that reproduce asexually. Yeast, fungi, plants, and bacteria are capable of asexual reproduction as well. Yeast reproduce most commonly by budding. Fungi and plants reproduce asexually through spores. Bacterial asexual reproduction most commonly occurs by binary fission.
