MICANOPY, Fla. - Sometimes you just need a hug.
Photographer Michelle Siefken was visiting Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park in Micanopy, Florida recently when she spotted two young alligators getting cozy.
"Need a hug?" she captioned the photo on Facebook.
The two buddies are seen laying closely together with one of the gator's arms across the back of the other – appearing as if they are hugging.
