Zoos Hope To Cash In With Risque Sex Tours
Date Includes Champagne, Dinner, Animal Sex Facts


TAMPA, Fla. -- Genevieve Chandler has been visiting the Lowry Park Zoo since she was a kid, but the tour she got the other night was definitely not the G-rated fare of her childhood.

Among the things Chandler, 30, and her date learned on their "Wild at Heart" zoo tour: Male pigs have a unique corkscrew endowment and impressive, um, output; manatees have orgies and don't really care if their partners are male or female; and a male porcupine has only one four-hour window a year to mate.

And how do those fortunate few porcupines that get to home plate make love?

Very carefully, of course.

Valentine's Day is the time of year when zoos around the nation seek to woo a new adult audience with risque tours that couple champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and candlelight dining with impressive facts about how animals do the wild thing.

Credit for the concept goes to Jane Tollini, a former penguin keeper at the San Francisco Zoo. Tollini conceived the idea two decades ago while watching her penguins' courtship ritual, which culminates in what she describes as "bowling pins making love."

these are the things you wind up explaining to kids at the zoo anyway.

"yes, that is his wee-wee, yes is is 3 feet long".

"yes that bonobo is pooping in her hand & eating it".
