The anniversary of the 1947 Constitution, and a day to promote culture and the arts. The Order of Culture is awarded by the Emperor to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Japanese culture, and the museums are free.

You witness the African elephant, the Zambian giraffe, and the lion as iconic wildlife throughout Zambia's national parks and savanna regions. You find that Zambians commonly keep dogs, cats, and chickens as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
