Zoos throughout the country are continuing the Valentine’s Day tradition of naming animals and critters after exes – some of which will have an unfortunate end in nature’s food chain.
New York's Bronx Zoo is bringing back it Name a Roach campaign for Valentine’s Day. The program, which got its start in 2011, allows zoo guests to name a Madagascar hissing cockroach for $15 – digital certificate included. The naming of a cockroach doesn’t have to be limited to exes, either. The Bronx Zoo encourages customers to name roaches after friends and loved ones. Orders can be placed online, and on Feb. 14, the Valentine’s Day gift recipient will be notified that an insect has been named in their honor.
