SILBERSALZ Festival in the Zoo / Talk: "Kisses, Conflicts and Capers – Sex in the Animal Kingdom" / Dr. Mario Ludwig

Like with humans, the animal act of love first begins with one of the many forms of flirting. While birds, insects and even fish like to avail of their abilities as minstrels and woo their lovers with a serenade, glow worms try to persuade their female partners of their intentions by means of light signals. The "come-on methods" in the animal world are often far more inventive and resourceful than they are with us humans. And it also has to be like that, because ladies’ choice prevails almost everywhere in the world of animals.

Afterwards, he and the Zoo Director Dr. Dennis Müller are holding an entertaining and stimulating discussion about the most diverse aspects of the human-animal relationship.

Cost: €5 with the official Festival Badge / zoo entrance cost otherwise
