From Men's Health

Love is in the air today, and nowhere is that more evident this morning than on Zoo Twitter-yes, apparently it's a thing-where dozens of animals (fine, their social media handlers) are sending valentines to each other using their most groan-worthy puns.

From horny rhinos to dirty dingoes, zoos and wildlife parks across Australia and New Zealand have been going wild using the #VDayPunOff hashtag. Sydney, Australia's Taronga Zoo appears to be the instigator, issuing the Valentine’s Day challenge early this morning:

Some other little guys were on the shy side.

As of this afternoon, the love is still pouring in. If you want to get in on the act, you can reply with your very own #VDayPunOff and show off your, ahem, koala-fications.
