12 ADORABLE ANIMAL FACTS
Love is in the air today! Happy Valentine’s Day, we hope you received at least one heart-shaped chocolate or long-stemmed red rose. Unless of course. you’re not the romantic type, in which case, we recommend skipping this blog – we’re going to get a bit soppy.
We thought the best way to celebrate the day of love is to look to nature. Humans aren’t the only ‘lovebirds’ out there. In fact, lots of animals put our romantic gestures to shame. So, we’ve comprised a list of our favourite romantic animal facts. Some of these little creatures are found here in Africa, and some aren’t, but either way, they’re adorable and sure to leave you with a happy heart.
