National DInosaur Day 2025

 

Today is the National Dinosaur Day- sort of.  In looking up information, I have found this: From the page, International Dinosaur Day on October 8th, 2015 (the day of the page's creation): "Beginning on May 17th, 2016 the first International Dinosaur Day will be celebrated. Our goal is to encourage student interest in Science, all things Fossilized and certainly all things Dinosaur. Join in your own capacity and help promote this new celebration to help students all over the world develop a deeper interest in Dinosaurs and the peripheral fields of Scientific Endeavor."

Since then, a few museums and places in the US started celebrating this day in 2015, though it appears as though the dude was not trying to create a "Day" to celebrate.  Good thing dinosaurs are so cool they deserve two days!
