NEW ORLEAN (WGNO) – When it comes to animal attraction, Audubon Zoo is offering adults an opportunity to learn about the birds and the bees on Valentine’s Day. It could be the most unique way to spend your evening on February 14th.

Pricing is $35 per person for members, $45 per person for non-members, and that includes open bar, chocolates, appetizers and an X-rated lecture by the curator of animals. There also will be live music, and live animals for photo opportunities.

Zoo educator Brenda Walkenhorst gave our Twist cameras a unique tour of the zoo, explaining the mating habits of a few of the zoo’s superstars.

“Normally our customers are children, so it’s gonna be fun for us actually to talk in a more adult language about what the animals do behind closed doors,” says Walkenhorst.

Sometimes the action is out in the open. Walkenhorst motions to the mud pits in front the rhino exhibit.

“So when they are feeling amorous, they’ll come down to the mud pits, and this is kinda like the hot tub for rhinos,” she says.

Sadly, the oldest living rhino in captivity has a deformed horn. The result of a rough mating experience. A successful rhino pregnancy would be a major accomplishment for the Zoo, but Walkenhorst explains that it’s a huge challenge, partially because of what it takes to impregnate a rhino.

“It’s pretty rough; it’s actually pretty dangerous. You got to imagine these are pretty big animals, and they have short legs, so it’s kind of like a 1950’s Buick that has to get up some speed to get up over the hump and kind of get there. So it’s not easy for either animal,” she says.

There’s a love triangle happening at the gorilla habitat, where the magnificent silverback, Casey, must choose between two females.

Zookeepers would be thrilled if he got them both pregnant. In the meantime, they often show him “gorilla porn” to inspire him; no luck yet.

We found the most shocking fact about animal sexuality at the giant tortoise pen. Zoo staff says the tortoises are “constantly” mating, and what’s more, they are the loudest ones at the zoo!

The event is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, so you can go there and still have time to head to a nice Valentine’s dinner.

As an added treat for your date, stuffed animals also will be for sale for an additional $25 — all of which goes toward animal conservation.
