September 4 - National Wildlife Day in the U.S.A.


There are several days dubbed “Wildlife Day,” including World Wildlife Day on March 3. Today’s special day focuses on wildlife of the U.S., especially on endangered species.

The thing is, the United States is pretty large, and it includes a Pacific island state (Hawaii), a Caribbean island (Puerto Rico), and a state that is partly in the Arctic Circle (Alaska). So the wildlife is really diverse!
