Jungle Love: The Animal Dating Game

Saturday, February 11, 2012 - 4:00pm
Location: 
Potter Park Zoo Discovery Center
Price: 
$20 each | $35 for two

For people, dating is often about dressing up, eating nice food, going dancing, giving gifts - all in an effort to impress that special someone.  Animals do this and more!  For animals, "dating" is serious business.  Attempting to meet a mate - what scientists call courtship behavior - can make them act pretty weird.

Jungle Love Snow LeopardsLearn the ins and outs of the private love lives of animals from elaborate courtship rituals to wild and crazy mating behaviors.  Biting, clawing, scratching and mid-air acrobatics; animals have a way of reproducing that can be beautiful and brutal at the same time!  You'll blush and laugh as you see some of the not-so-widely-known sex habits of our zoo inhabitants and other members of the wild kingdom. Please Note: This is an adults only event; must be 18 years or older to attend.
