animal love

When Valentine’s Day arrives we all

think of human love. Will and Guy

wonder if love exists in the

animal kingdom. We have some rather beautiful photographs to

share with you to help you make up your own minds

Give us a kiss

Once they mate, swans remain together for life. Both partners share in building their nest,

defending and incubating their eggs and caring for their young.

Love between mother and baby

Flamingos creating a heart shape

Give us a cuddle

Snuggling up is a good way to keep warm

I always love being with you

Fancy meeting you here: you look like my mirror image

You are my sunshine, even in the snow

Please be my friend?

In their natural habitat seahorses make partnerships which last until one dies. In seahorses, pregnancy happens to the

male animals

Come a little closer

I’m so glad we decided to have a family. Will Junior’s trunk reach the water?

I’ll do the hunting tonight, my dear, you have a rest

I miss you so much when you go away

..and perhaps we’ll stay out very late

Do you know, you’re the loveliest looking Llama in the world?

You can go on the exercise wheel first tonight, my beloved

I like meeting you here, in the garden

............and then what did she say?

Come with me. I know where there’s some tasty scraps

I love you too

It’s lovely in here, why don’t you join me?

Now, where shall we go today, my dearest?

This sea lion has obviously got a soft spot for his keeper.

Give us a kiss

Here we have an African lion bonding with the lady who saved his life. He

obviously recognises her and gives her a

hug, a kiss and a cuddle. She had

rescued him when malnourished and

had spent many days with him improving

his health
