Pear Bonding
In biology, the term pair bonding refers to the strong affinity that develops in some species between a mating pair, often leading to the production and rearing of offspring and potentially a lifelong bond. It is a little-known fact that snails, although hermaphrodites, can develop a strong pair bond where the individuals simply switch between male and female as the mood suits them. These two snails are tiny juveniles, so presumably have the rest of their lives to look forward to being with each other.

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
