Dia de la Bandera

The anniversary of the Mexican flag, which was adopted on February 24, 1821. The flag is green (hope), white (unity), and red (the blood of the heroes), and the center features an eagle devouring a serpent on a prickly pear cactus (the founding myth of Tenochtitlan). The day is observed with ceremonies at schools, government buildings, and military bases, and the flag is flown on every building.

You discover Jamaica's distinctive hutias, the island's endangered native rodents, alongside colorful red-billed streamertail hummingbirds found nowhere else on Earth. You observe that Jamaican families typically keep dogs, cats, and fighting cocks as their most common pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
