Did you know that Orangutan Day is recognized August 19th, every year? This world wide event is to help encourage the public to take action in preserving this amazing species. The orangutan is my favorite zoo animal. They are so entertaining to watch. And very intelligent as well. Not my photo above, but I do have some I snapped a few years ago while visiting the zoo. Just cannot find them on this computer. Have a favorite zoo animal?

It seems to be all kinds of days today. I like the orangutan also. I love watching all the monkeys, apes, and gorillas at the zoo.

@CarolDM It's also National Aviation day for Orville Wright's birthday. I think it's National Women's Suffrage or was that yesterday?

I don't like Orangutans at all, lol I don't even know why! However it is so important that they have a world wide international day that means its preservation! I don't personally have a favorite animal, I think each one of them are special in their own way! Thanks for the educational post Carol!
