SINGLE men are being offered the chance to show their animal instincts for love in a speed-dating night at Edinburgh Zoo.
Organisers are hoping that the venue will help couples to find love at the lemurs, or romance at the rhinos.
The 19 April event has proved popular with the female of the species - all the ladies' tickets have been snapped up.
Mel Jarron, a director of the Silver Card company which is organising the event, said: "Edinburgh Zoo is a great location for a singles night.
"There is such a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of points of interest for people to talk about. I hope that there are some men in the area who are willing to try a singles night with a twist."
Instead of braving the event alone, singles are being encouraged to come in two by two to take the one-on-one pressure off.
They will be greeted with a drink upon arrival to settle any nerves after a safari tour around the zoo, and before they know it they will be off flirting by the felines and kissing next to the koalas.
Ms Jarron said: "This event is going to be an absolute success. I like the idea of the effects that animal instinct may have."
