2 monitor lizards engage in PDA in Bayfront MRT
In a scene straight out of a reptilian rom-com, two monitor lizards were caught in a steamy rendezvous at Bayfront MRT Station, right in the middle of the infinity mirror tunnel leading to Gardens by the Bay.
The Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) dropped the scandalous footage on 5 July, cheekily dubbing it ‘Dual Monitors in Love’.
According to ACRES, its officers were called to the scene but were reluctant to intervene as it would be “bad karma”.
The video later shows one lizard strolling on its own while the other lounges casually in the middle of the corridor.
Perhaps bashful that their romantic encounter had drawn a crowd, the lovebirds — lovelizards? — eventually “decided to end their PDA and split ways”, noted ACRES in its video.
The reptiles then slinked off behind the mirrors, away from prying eyes.

The officers then released the monitor lizards back into the wild — together, of course.
“They ran off into the sunset and lived happily ever after (hopefully!),” ACRES wrote, manifesting a fairy-tale ending to this scaly love saga.

Another quipped that this isn’t the “dual monitor setup” they’re used to, cleverly mixing up computer monitors with monitor lizards.
