The Bronx Zoo is giving couples an alternative gift for Valentine's day this year. Forget about chocolate, flowers and jewelry, nothing says "I Love You" like being able to name a Madagascar hissing cockroach after your loved one.
The Bronx Zoo has 58,000 of these creepy crawlies that are the largest and loudest of all roaches, and they are waiting to be named after your loved one for only $10. If your Valentine's day recipient freaks out, tell them that the proceeds go to help preserve species and wildlife in Madagascar.
