Looking for a counter-example: a degree-one endomorphism of a projective variety which is not an automorphism

I read on this page that an endomorphism of degree one of a smooth projective algebraic variety must be an automorphism. The proof uses Zariski's main theorem.

My question is this: are there examples of nonsmooth projective algebraic varieties having endomorphisms of degree one that are not automorphisms?

Note that for a morphism, having degree one is equivalent to being birational.
