You would think this scene wouldn’t happen. Yet this is very common. The big guys don’t really want to tangle with each other, unless it’s mating season / babies being protected.
I’m not sure I’d call it cuddles however lots a photos of them sticking close here.

Best viewed large.
Great shot! ooh, such creepy critters, and always the alligator grins, LOL 😂
Yep, they are a bit creepy. Very photogenic too LOL.
Verrrrr-y!! They give amazing photo ops…the zoom in close up view freaked me right out as usual 🫢🫨
😂😂😂
Now that’s a beautiful sight!!!
😂😂, right up your alley 👍
That is interesting. Always considered them very territorial..at least the males.
Breeding time and food will set them off. After that it’s a guess what will happen.
