Zoos across Australia and animal welfare organisations have taken part in a pun-off to celebrate Valentine’s Day and look, even if you can’t stand the day, this is wholesome as heck.

Meanwhile, Perth Zoo out-did everyone with this insanely cute video of three baby Asian Small-clawed Otter pups having their first vet check-up.
As the zoo captioned their tweet, this is just “otter-ly adorable.”

Way across the pond, San Diego Zoo upped the ante with a GIF of a wee baby cheetah that will melt your heart.
“We really love your purrsonality but we prefer speed dating,” they tweeted.

UGH.
San Diego Zoo even chucked in a whole list of animals that bond as a pair in honour of the special day, complete with a poem.
“Roses are red,
naked mole rats are bare,
here are some couples,
that bond as a pair.”
Hit the link in the tweet for the full list.
Roses are red,
naked mole rats are bare,
here are some couples,
that bond as a pair.
