This week’s cover story, “Beauty of the Beasts,” is all about the matchmakers who help zoo animals find love. Or at least another animal to, you know, mate with. And some animals have a strange way of doin’ it, as explained in our sidebar about weird mating habits. (Did you know male giraffes will lick female giraffes’ urine to tell if they’re ovulating?)
For a chance to see the, uh, romance in person, head to the Denver Zoo this weekend for a buy-one, get-one-free deal on admission in honor of Valentine’s Day.
