This Zoo Will Name A Cockroach After Your Ex And Then Feed It To A Meerkat On Valentine's Day

February 8, 2019

The El Paso Zoo will name a cockroach after your ex and then let you watch them feed it to a meerkat live on camera.

"What's the perfect Valentine's Day gift? Naming a cockroach after your ex, of course!" the zoo wrote on Facebook.

You can message the zoo on Facebook with your ex's name, then on February 14 watch the roach get devoured during the "Quit Bugging Me" meerkat event, which will live-stream on Facebook.

"This is a fun way to get the community involved in our daily enrichment activities," El Paso Zoo event coordinator Sarah Borrego told CBS News.

"The meerkats love to get cockroaches as a snack and what better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than by feeding them a cockroach named after your ex!"
