BATTLE CREEK, Mich. - The Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek is hosting an exotic afternoon on Valentine's Day to "educate" people about animal attraction.

Zoorotica is a program for adults 21 and older that will provide an unabashed look at the mating habits of wild animals. WWMT-TV says the $50-per-couple event is sold out, and the zoo office has started a waiting list.

Visitors will receive champagne, hors d'oeuvres and a guided tour of some areas that are typically off-limits to the public.

The tour will make stops at exhibits and barns housing snow leopards, giraffes, zebras, primates, reptiles and other creatures.
