Two male anoles go at it, fighting each other for the awesome show-off spot of the garden hose. The bottom anole ended up winning, if I remember correctly - throwing the top anole down to the cement a few feet below. He immediately started cresting his red dewlap, as if to show off and to flag the attention of any nearby females who might have witnessed the battle.

They reminded me of being in college.
