Description

Apparently these are Common chuckwallas (Sauromalus ater). Thank you ~Lucern7 for correcting me! I like to think that the one above is the male, standing over the female in a protective gesture. c: I don't actually know if they even are a couple, though.
Artis Zoo, Amsterdam, Holland.
Canon 7D.
