Every year on July 16th, reptile enthusiasts, conservationists, and nature lovers across the globe come together to celebrate National Snake Day. This day is dedicated to recognizing the incredible diversity, ecological importance, and often misunderstood nature of snakes. Whether you find them intriguing or intimidating, there's no denying that snakes play a vital role in our ecosystems and have a rich history worth exploring.
Snakes are an integral part of many ecosystems, serving as both predator and prey. They help control populations of rodents and other small animals, which can otherwise become pests. By keeping these populations in check, snakes contribute to the balance of nature and the health of habitats.
Snakes often suffer from a negative reputation, largely due to fear and misunderstanding. National Snake Day provides an opportunity to dispel common myths and educate the public about the true nature of these animals. For instance, while it's true that some snakes are venomous, the majority are harmless to humans. Learning to respect their environment and observe in a distance is the key to coexistence!
Bonus #everydayisaholiday: Yesterday was National Donna Day!
We are thrilled that June 15th was National Donna Day and we are super excited to celebrate our very own, Donna McCormick, Business and Office Manager! We want to thank her for all that she has done as she has been with the college for over 30 years! Thank you, Donna!
