Zoos Around Australia Celebrated Valentine’s Day With A Massive, Glorious Pun Competition
We love it, and we ain't lion.
Zoos across Australia spent yesterday celebrating Valentine’s Day in the best possible way: by taking part in a massive, cringeworthy pun competition. And it was truly glorious.
Using the hashtag #VDayPunOff, zoos and animal conservation groups from coast to coast took to social media to share animal-themed messages of love and affection.
Don’t let today go to waste, tell that special someone you’ve Bin Chicken them out all year. #VDayPunOff pic.twitter.com/PEiIZ350BQ
