Two male monitor lizards wrestle in the water - in a fight over the mating rights to a desirable female.<br /><br />The pair of randy reptiles were seen rolling around in the water at a park in Bangkok, central Thailand, last Monday (September 9).<br /><br />They spent several minutes entwined as they tried to use their strength to overpower the other one. <br /><br />The winner of the dual would be given a pass to mate with a female monitor lizard on heat, while the loser would skulk back into life as a bachelor.<br /><br />Amateur photographer Anake Seenadee, 43, captured the unusual scene while he was relaxing in the park watching the wildlife.<br /><br />He said: ''I was surprised to see this and at first, I thought they were mating.<br /><br />''But then after I had done some research about their behaviour I understood that this was a fight over which male could mate with a woman. <br /><br />''Both of the lizards looked very tired so I think she must have been a very sought-after female lizard.''<br /><br />Male monitor lizards usually fight over two things - females and territory.
