Zoorotica program at Binder Park Zoo, Michigan

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – Chocolate and flowers are nice, but this Valentine’s Day why not take your honey for a walk on the wild side?

“We’re going to talk about animal reproduction, the different animals here at Binder Park Zoo and their little quirks, different things that get them going to help them reproduce,” said Jenny Parnett of Binder Park Zoo.

It’s a Valentine’s Day date that’s sure to ruffle some feathers.

Binder Park Zoo says love birds are flocking to sign up for the Zoorotica program. From frolicking frogs to the love-lives of leopards, this will give you an intimate look at animal mating rituals.

The R-rated show lets you go where no zoo guests have gone before.

Tickets are sold out, but there is a waiting list. Just call the zoo office to add your name.

The following is from the Binder Zoo’s own advertisement for this event.

Experienced and unabashed staff will lead you on a tour exploring the sexual lives of animals. Biting, clawing, scratching and mid-air acrobatics, animals have a way of reproducing that can be beautiful and brutal at the same time! The love tour will end with hors d’oeuvres and a special DVD presentation. Each couple will receive a small gift to commemorate their experience! This is an adults only event and participants must be 21 years or older.

Looking for more? The Holiday Inn of Battle Creek is offering participants of the “ZOOROTICA” tour a special discounted overnight stay for $129. Other packages are available that include overnight room, late check out at 2:00pm, champagne or sparkling grape juice, rose petals on the bed, chocolate dipped strawberries, and dinner for 2 in the Cereal City Grill with a special Valentine’s menu.

Things you don’t want to see at a zoo. (Or maybe you do…)

SINGAPORE: Three white tigers mauled a Malaysian to death in Singapore’s zoo on Thursday after the man jumped into their enclosure, a zoo official said.

Nordin Bin Montong, 32, a Malaysian working as a cleaner at the zoo, leapt into the moat of the white tiger exhibit and was attacked, said Biswajit Guha, assistant director of zoology at the Singapore Zoo in a statement.

The noise from the attack caught the attention of zookeepers nearby and they eventually managed to distract the tigers and rescue Nordin.

“Keepers managed to separate the worker from the tiger. While waiting for the ambulance, our vets attended to him,” said Guha. “The worker tragically succumbed to his wound.”

Singapore’s Straits Times newspaper said on its website that Nordin was seen behaving in an agitated manner before he fell into the moat. Terrified visitors near the section watched the vicious attack in horror and screamed, the paper said. (IHT)

But you don’t have to imagine the gruesome scene – it was all caught on video. (WARNING! The video is very disturbing. For that reason, I decided to link it instead of embedding it. Do NOT click link if you have a weak stomach!)
