In Sanford Florida, just outside of Orlando, couples can spend a romantic Valentine's Day at the zoo learning about over 40 species and their sex behavior. Find out more here.
If you think human romance is weird, consider the animal world. Male honeybees mate in the air and then suffer an explosion of very personal body parts. The leader of a bonobo primate tribe is determined by which male can monkey around the longest. And turtles, it seems, are constantly in the mood.
"They do it slowly," said Joe Montisano, chief executive officer of the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens. "But they still manage to get it done a lot."
Montisano has animal reproduction on the brain as he prepares for Sex and the Zoo, the first Valentine's Day event at the Sanford zoological park. The party has had quite the allure: 220 tickets sold out in about five days, far in advance of the holiday.
And no, there will be no live animal demonstrations, but senior reptile keeper Nick Clark -- alias "Dr. Love" -- promises the next best thing: He will dress up as a bird and perform a mating dance.
