If there’s one thing that the Internet loves, it is animal videos. The videos can be cute, funny, or even scary, but the Internet will eat it up. It also loves cracking jokes and making fun of a situation. In a recent video that is going viral on the Internet, the Internet had an opportunity to combine the two. A video posted on the famous micro-blogging site, Twitter shows two monitor lizards aggressively hugging each other and the Internet has some hilarious reactions.

In a video posted on Twitter yesterday, the 28th of February, two monitor lizards are seen aggressively hugging each other. To humans, this may seem like hugging, however, the two monitor lizards are engaged in a battle.
Humans don’t often hug in a battle which is why it can seem confusing to us. However, what the two lizards are really doing is trying to dominate each other. Asserting one’s dominance over another is a common practice in the animal kingdom.
The video was posted by a Twitter user called Nupur along with the caption “A normal day at IIM Calcutta.” Since it was posted yesterday, the tweet has garnered more than 4.8 thousand views. It has also received more than 400 retweets.

The people on the Internet, needless to say, had some funny and hilarious reactions to the video. One user said “True representation of ‘IIM jaane ke baad toh sabko mil jaati hai’” referring to the hilarious and famous stereotype about the university.
Another user said “Post-placement season celebration.” “Love in the air” commented one user. One commenter said “Jaadu ki jhappi is universal” referencing the famous dialogue from the Bollywood hit Munna Bhai MBBS.
Monitor Lizards are pretty common in India. They can be spotted in many places with dense greenery. IIM Calcutta, evidently, is one of the places where you can spot these unique reptiles. The University of Hyderabad, too, has monitor lizards on its campus.
