Birds do it. Bees do it. Find out how animals at the Detroit Zoo do it at Love Gone Wild on Thursday, February 14, 2013, 6:30-10 p.m. Open to both singles and sweethearts, this memorable Valentine’s Day event will offer a candid and entertaining look at how zoo animals do the “wild thing”. The evening will include an intimate and revealing look into the “dating” and mating escapades of the Zoo’s animals.
