The zoo director, Thane Maynard, compared their Species Survival Program to Match.com, explaining that the animals are matched together on a variety of different criteria to make sure they are compatible. By comparing the different characteristics of each animal, the zoo is able to determine which animals will be most successful as mates.

The new technology has been so successful that the Cincinnati Zoo has experienced a huge baby boom over the course of the past year, including the birth of many endangered species and the adorable baby hippo, Fiona.

With all their success, we might just ask the Cincinnati Zoo to lend us their software for our own romantic interests!
