Golden Retriever Day - February 3rd

Today we celebrate in honor of one of our best and cutest friends, who not only serve as pets that can be played with but also help us professionally many times - the Golden Retriever dogs.
The Golden Retriever dogs, abbreviated as "golden" are dogs with long golden fur (hence their name), which are medium to large in size and friendly and comfortable in nature.
They are not suitable to be guard dogs because they are usually not aggressive, but because of their great tolerance and high potential for training, they are often used as guide dogs for the blind or companion dogs for the disabled. Because of their well-developed sense of smell, the police also use them to detect explosives and they also help with hunting.
The Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular breeds of dogs all over the world.


The name Golden Retriever is derived from the word Retrieve which means "return". In the 19th century the Scots began to use this breed of dog in their hunting expeditions, to help bring in the hunt which was often shot and fallen in a distant and inaccessible place for hunters. The Golden Retriever breed was originally created from a hybrid of stray dogs that were used for hunting and John Newfoundland dogs brought to the UK by fishermen from the island of Newfoundland in North America.


The Golden Retriever Day was created by a Golden Retriever owner named Kristen who realized that there is no day to celebrate in honor of this breed of dog. She founded the Golden Retriever Day on the birthday of her beloved dog.
February 3rd is also Carrot Cake Day and Japanese Setsubun 

Carrot Cake Day- February 3

Carrot cake is one of the most genius pieces in the baking world. It is soft, juicy and tasty, and contains carrots in its dough. 

The history of carrot cake  
The first carrot cake was inspired by the favorite medieval dessert, carrot pudding.  
Many times in history, when sugar was hard to come by and even impossible, people used sweet vegetables to make desserts.  
In World War II, the British government allocated a very small amount of sugar products to the residents, so the popularity of the carrot cake that each carrot can grow in the garden has increased greatly.  


 

Carrot cake also appears in comic context and jokes. 
Such as the joke about the rabbit entering the bakery on Sunday and asking, "Do you have carrot cake?" The seller says no. On Monday he comes in again and asks, "Do you have carrot cake?" And again the seller answers his no. And so on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. In honor of Friday, the seller decides to make a surprise for the rabbit. He asks the shopkeeper to make a carrot cake for the rabbit. And indeed, on Friday the rabbit enters the bakery and asks, "Do you have a carrot cake?" "Yes!" The seller enthusiastically answers. 
Rabbit says: "Isn't that icky?"

World Wetlands Day - February 2nd

World Wetlands Day marks the day of the signing of the "Wet Habitats" Convention, the Ramsar Convention. On February 2, 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the Caspian coast, World Swamp Day was celebrated for the first time. Since then every year, government agencies, NGOs, and groups of citizens from all walks of life have been working to raise public awareness of the value of swamp lands and the benefits they provide to the environment.


International Swamp Day is an opportunity to remember the beautiful parts of nature, the swamps where ducks, geese, swans, frogs, water vultures, flamingos and all kinds of waterfowl and animals thrive in harmony.
We all know that many parts of our world are at risk of disappearing under bulldozers and turning into urban or industrialized areas. All this at the expense of the innocent creatures that inhabit them. The swamps need help, and if we want to continue to see seabirds and other creatures that live in the water in the next generation as well, we need to mobilize and act. International Swamp Day is the perfect opportunity to do.


February 2nd is also Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day - February 2nd

The groundhog is a rodent from the squirrel family, which according to an ancient belief in Europe, heralds the coming of spring.
Groundhog Day is a popular holiday celebrated in the United States and Canada every February 2nd.
The reason for the holiday is the awakening of the groundhog from its winter slumber and its exit from the burrow. According to the belief, if the groundhog forms from the burrow, it is a sign that spring is beginning because the clouds in the sky prevent it from seeing its own shadow. On the other hand, if she returns to her forgiveness, it is because the sun illuminates her and allows her to see her own shadow and this is a sign of another six weeks of winter.
The holiday originated in the state of Pennsylvania in the USA, with German immigrants in the 18th and 19th centuries who brought with them additional customs that foretell spring that were common in ancient Europe.


Happy Groundhog Day

Canada is celebrating its Independence Day on July 1st. On this date in 1867 Canada received from the British Empire that ruled it, a right of self-government.
According to historians, the first inhabitants of Canada were the Indigenous peoples who lived there for about 10,000 years. In about 1000, the Vikings came to North America, led by Leifur Eiríksson, and called the Vinland area.
The Vikings, who came from northern Europe, encountered resistance from the Native Americans and were forced to leave. In the 17th century, the French came to the area and established new European settlements.
In 1763, the French and Natives War ended in North America for nine years, from 1754 to 1763, in parallel with the Seven Years' War in Europe. The French Empire decided to hold the Caribbean while the British Empire decided to hold Canada. After the American Revolutionary War, many settlers who were loyal to Britain moved to Canada.
On July 1, 1867, Independent Canada was established, which was a federation of three colonies: the Province of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The old colony of Canada was divided into two: Quebec and Ontario. This union is called the "Canadian Federation". More British colonies joined the union soon after, and by 1880 Canada had all the territory it had today, except Newfoundland and Labrador, which joined in 1949. Canada today is the second largest country in the world, right after Russia. Its area is 9,984,670 square kilometers and its population is about 35 million inhabitants.

Zebra Day - January 31

International Zebra Day falls on January 31 each year.
What do you know about the zebra other than that she has black and white stripes  ?


In honor of Zebra Day, get some interesting facts about her:

The origin of the zebra is the African continent.

The zebra is black with white stripes.

The offspring of a zebra and a donkey is called: a Zebroid. Any hybrid between a zebra and a different type of horse is called a Zebroid. In English, the combination of a zebra and a donkey is called: Zonkie.

Zebras are more responsible for injuries to U.S. zoo workers than any other animal.

If a zebra is attacked, her whole family will come to her defense and attack the wounded zebra in order to drive out the predators.

Ostriches and zebras often live together to protect each other from predators. The ostrich can see better and the zebra can hear or smell danger better.

In 2009 two zebras starved to death in a Palestinian Authority zoo and replaced them with donkeys painted in black and white stripes.
People pay thousands of dollars to hunt zebras and other African wildlife on large farms in Texas.
In the past, they tried to domesticate zebras, but stopped. Zebras are unpredictable and can attack humans.


Each zebra has stripes in a pattern unique to it. Scientists can identify zebras by "scanning" their stripes like a barcode.

Animal experts believe that the pattern of the stripes is intended to confuse and deter flying flies from landing on zebras. The flies are attracted to dark and solid surfaces so they prefer to avoid the stripes of the zebras being deceived.

From birth the legs of the zebra foal are like those of an adult. 20 minutes after birth, the zebra can already use its legs to run and run wild.

The zebra's hind legs are so strong that they can break the predator's jaw with a kick, like a lion for example. They can also run at speeds of almost 40 km / h.



January 31st is also Backwards Day
