Even Wildebeest Do It

When writing the lyrics to his song “Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall In Love” in 1928, Cole Porter knew as well as we here at Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve know today that “birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it”. Just like humans many wild animals seem to have tender, affectionate moments with one another. While Valentine’s Day is usually a celebration of human love, we are celebrating animal love affairs this year. If you have any doubts that animals can love too, these pictures will have you “oohing” in belief very soon.
