National holiday. September 30, 1966. Botswana became independent and the crowd at the national stadium chants "Pula!" because rain is blessing, rain is currency, and rain is the answer to every hope. The biggest celebration of the year and the proudest. Every Motswana stands taller on this day.
You observe the Arctic wildlife of Svalbard and Jan Mayen including polar bears, Arctic foxes, and walruses in this high northern region. You find that the sparse human population keeps sled dogs, reindeer, and occasionally Arctic foxes as domestic animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
