The mating embrace or copulatory position in amphibians and some other animals, where the male grasps the female from above or around the body.
From Greek 'amphis' (around) + 'klexis' (clasping or embracing). The term emerged in 19th-century zoological literature.
Frogs don't kiss or court each other like humans—the male literally jumps on the female's back in this embrace and fertilizes eggs as they're released, and it can last for days!
