10 Dating Tips from the Animal World

By Stephen Messenger, TreeHugger

Does a dung beetle find love easier than us? From the humblest worm to the majestic blue whale, creatures large and small have spent hundreds of millions of years conceiving a variety of ways to impress their mates.

Single guys listen up: These savvy animals understand the language of love…and might just have the best advice for those looking for romance.

Mingle Like a Penguin

Whether you’re new to the dating scene, or are returning after some time away, making an effort to mingle with other singles is key to finding that special someone — the same is true for penguins.

Every year in late spring, male penguins, often numbering into the thousands, congregate on their colony’s breeding ground to establish a nesting spot and await the arrival of females. When the ladies start pouring in, the giant singles’ mixer erupts in a cacophony of squawking and wing-flapping as the males vie for a partner.

Once the pairs mate, they form a bond which can last for years. With any luck, the same can be true for humans who mingle — and you don’t even need a tux.
