Nowadays whenever we see animals in amorous embrace, we elbow each other and call out for everyone to "Look at those animals hugging!"
It's juvenile and probably inappropriate for a family-friendly blog. But it's the first thing I thought when I nearly stepped on these two lizards in the middle of the sidewalk at the trailhead on Saturday. If there hadn't been kids everywhere, I probably would have drawn more attention to them. As it was, I think I embarrassed my hiking companion by insisting on a photo.
Call me crass, but Sis, these hugging lizards are for you!

The only thing that's inappropriate about this post is you calling the things in the included picture: lizards. Surely they are not. Skinks get no love. We'll have to send you a picture of the giant Galapagos tortoises going at it last week at the National Zoo.
t. of course
My mother questioned whether lizards - skinks - whatever - actually have sex since they lay eggs. I told her I wasn't sure of the technical details, but if this ain't amour, it's a very weird way to play.
