Happy National Unicorn Day!

We love fantasy and we are celebrating National Unicorn Day. The most beautiful mythical horse-like creature with a single, pointed horn growing from the center of its forehead.

Unicorns have been a popular mythical creature since Ancient Greek times when people believed they lived in exotic India. They are a symbol of love, purity, enchantment and magic.

International Hippo Day

I didn’t know there is an international day for Hippo. Everyday I learn something new. Isn’t is fantastic?

Our son enjoys picking hippo on his world map. I’m pretty sure is going to become one of his favorite wildlife animals.

Originated in Africa, it has become a vulnerable species in 2006 because of habitat loss, hunting and of course, hist meat and ivory teeth. Is one of the largest land mammals. An adult weights 2000kg!
