A goat and a deer are getting married at a Chinese zoo

manifestly , true love really does know no boundary , as a ram nominate Changmao and a doe named Chunzi at China ’s Yunnan Provincial Wildlife Park are go bad to celebrate this Valentine ’s Day with their very own inter - species hymeneals .

While their “ marriage ” is patently just a promotional material stunt , there reportedly does appear to be some existent affection between the two animals . Chunzi licks the hair’s-breadth of the ram like she would a normal deer mate , and Changmao attacks any manlike cervid that attempts to approach his chosen Energy Department . The unusual bond can probably be explained by their strange upbringing – born around the same time , the two creature were placed in the same pen because , as park functionary Liu Gencheng excuse , “ they were all herbivores . ”

These interspecies relationships are n’t unheard of , particularly at zoos where different mintage are upgrade in such over-the-top law of proximity to one another . But what makes this particularly unusual is the apparent inter - species Romance language — and in case this looks simply platonic to you , I should point out there are also photograph of Changmao mount Chunzi , but I go with the nuzzling photograph because it ’s cuter , dammit . In any event , their kinship has seen some rough patches , as the BBC recounts :

But Changmao has not been on the button faithful to Chunzi . He beget a baby lamb with the zoo ’s only female sheep . That was why zoological garden officials decided to assort the ram and the doe in November last year . However , when zookeepers put Changmao with his Charles Lamb and its mother , he became violent . Chunzi , for her part , squeeze through the fence to be near him .

Still , it would seem that true sexual love , no matter how bizarre or incomprehensible , really does seize all , and these two lovebirds — or , more accurately , one loveram and one lovedoe — have years of marital bliss ahead of them . Just as before long as someone actually explain the concept of marriage to them , I guess .
