Courtship is pretty much the same for turtles, gorillas or humans. The males show off ย— for a turtle itย’s stretching his neck ย— and the females choose the best prospect. At todayย’s Wild for Love, Houston Zoo Director Rick Barongi details the mating rituals of various members of the animal kingdom, with a good dose of humor. Then itย’s time for a gourmet dinner, a stroll around the park and maybe some mating rituals of your own. 7 p.m. 6200 Golf Course Drive. For information, call 713-533-6500 or visit www.houstonzoo.org. $60 to $70.
