Mullet conservation efforts are under way in Pittsburgh - and yes, we mean the hairstyle, not the fish.

The Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium gave reduced admission one Monday to those sporting the business-in-front, party-in-back look.

The tongue-in-cheek promotion kicked off a week of discount gimmicks at the zoo.

Stuck in the '60s? A tie-dye shirt would get you in the gates for $5 on a Thursday. That Friday, the zoo's Facebook friends were eligible for a reduced price.

For Monday, the person with the best mullet won a behind-the-scenes zoo tour. And the prize for the runners-up? A chance for a free haircut.
