LOVED-up ladies are being encouraged to stick their neck out and pop the question to their partners at Dudley Zoo on February 29.

The Castle Hill attraction is even offering a little animal magic for women who want to turn the tables on their partner and propose this leap year.

Staff have put together a special meet and greet package, offering couples a close encounter animal experience with the giraffes, bats, lemurs, sealions or tapirs, where ladies can surprise their partners and then celebrate with a glass of fizz.

Marketing manager, Andrea Hales, said: “Where better than doing it among some of the world’s rarest animals and really making it a date to remember?”

Packages start from £125 and include a bottle of bubbly and a bouquet of flowers.
