Did you know? A snail can sleep up to three years. Snails need moisture to survive; so if the weather is not cooperating, they can actually sleep up to three years. It has been reported that depending on geography, snails can shift into hibernation (which occurs in the winter), or estivation (also known as 'summer sleep'), helping to escape warm climates. Butterflies taste with their feet. Butterflies taste food with their feet. Butterflies have taste sensors on their feet and by standing on a leaf, they can taste it to see if their caterpillars can eat it.

Earth Day , celebrated annually on April 22 , is a reminder to protect the environment, restore damaged ecosystems and live a more sustainable life. The event was first celebrated in 1970, making this year the 52nd anniversary of annual celebrations. Earth Day was first observed in the United States, when some 20 million people took to the streets to protest against the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill. Since then, the occasion has played an important role in raising awareness on other environmental issues. This year, earthday.org has selected the theme, ‘ Invest In Our Planet ’. It explains, “This is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political climate, and how we take action on climate.
