Reptile Awareness Day
Reptile Awareness Day is October 21st. Every year, reptile fanatics have a day that they can celebrate and share their passion; a chance to educate others who may not know about these amazing creatures called reptiles, and the habitat loss and threat of extinction that faces so many reptile species.
Hug the nearest snake or lizard, but eschew the newt, which is not a reptile but an amphibian. The turtle however, is very much a reptile, as is the closely related tortoise. And of course, crocodiles, alligators, and caiman.
