Time for some bear love!

People magazine says the North Carolina Zoo is playing matchmaker this Valentine's Day.

Payton, a 1,000-pound male polar bear from Memphis, recently arrived at the zoo. He is expected to hook up with a 22-year-old polar bear, named Anana, just before Valentine's Day. The zoo hopes the two like each other and make baby bears.

Just too cute!
