What is National Reptile Awareness Day?
Every October 21 is National Reptile Awareness Day. Godzilla. Reptar. Yoshi. The Geico Gecko. Those two lizards that always hang out around your back porch. These are just a few of the famous reptiles we love. But on October 21, we celebrate all of our cold-blooded friends. This day is observed to educate and raise awareness of threats to the natural habitats that our reptilian companions rely on to survive.
National Reptile Awareness Day Related Holidays
National Bird Day Closely related to reptiles but just a bit different, birds also face threats of losing their habitats as human development continues – much like their reptilian cousins.
National Pet Day While many reptiles might get a bad rep, they’re often considered great pets, more on that below. Easy to care for and don’t require the kind of space that dogs and cats might.
International Homeless Animals Day As many reptiles become displaced from their natural habitats, it’s important to recognize that this issue is across the board in the animal kingdom.
