    Pittsburgh Zoo hosting “Adults Only” Valentines Day event

    Cole Porter's classic song comes to lifeThe Pittsburgh Zoo is hosting a Valentines Day dinner that promises to reveal "the intimate secrets of exotic animal mating." It sounds like the ideal romantic date! As the zoo's website explains:

    Join us for dinner, cocktails, and an adults-only presentation by Henry Kacprzyk, who will reveal the intimate secrets of exotic animal mating. From the most violent mating battles to the subtlest courting rituals, learn how the animals of land, sea, and air find love in the wild.

    It's a little like the lyrics to Cole Porter's classic song "Let's Do It" come to life: "And that's why birds do it, bees do it. Even educated fleas do it.
    Let's do it, let's fall in love."

    And though love itself may not cost a thing, tickets to see these lascivious lions are $75. The amorous animalistic display also comes fast on the heels (or hoofs) of the news that animals are far better at detecting human intent than previously thought. Still, one needn't carry out advanced zoological research--or possess an animal's native intuition-- to deduce the intentions of couples showing up on Valentines Day to study animal mating routines up close.

      I dunno. After walking around with my wife looking at all those gigantic elephant, hippo and rhino dongs, I think she's gonna be a little disappointed when we get back home.

      When i went to the Cleveland Zoo back in the 80's with my family,
      My brother-in-law stepped in front of the Silver-Back gorrilla cage and the gorrilla eyes lit up and he got a hardon and started masterbating to him.

      My brother-in-law was sortof hairy like george the animal steele.
      It was funny as hell !!!
