Love & Relationships

· Love in the Jungle - Sunday, May 8

Is the key to finding true love mating like animals, rather than dating like humans? In a ground-breaking new series that pushes the dating scene into the world of nature, fourteen unlucky-in-love singles are ready to test that theory as they participate in mating rituals pulled straight from the animal kingdom - and do so with little to no verbal communication. For these singles, it's the chance to unleash their inner animals and hone their natural instincts in the ultimate pursuit of true love.
