Electric Light Birthday 1879
- Contrary to popular belief, Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1879, using lower current electricity, a small carbonized filament, and an improved vacuum inside the globe, he was able to produce a reliable, long-lasting source of light.

Toy Camera Day
- Once upon a time, not too long ago, Tomy (yes, an actual toy manufacturer) made a toy camera - the Tolne. Because of the small production run, they became a bit of a legend, and extremely difficult to find.

International Sloth Day
-- created by Foundation AIUNAU who acquired this compromise on the First international meeting about the well-being, rehabilitation, and conservation of sloths, held in Medellin, Colombia, November of 2010. It was created as a necessity to bring the world of sloths and their forest to the citizens/people as a process of sensibilization towards wildlife. These species are so special, these cryptic and shy beings inspire us and awaken our tender feelings. There is a lot sloths can teach us – respect, tenderness, joy, sharing. Nevertheless, in our lack of awareness, we harm them so much and bring their existence in danger of extinction.

Read: Sloths: Life in the Slow Lane
-- Sloth expert Dr. Rebecca Cliffe has teamed up with world-renowned wildlife photographer Suzi Eszterhas to produce this stunning coffee-table book that takes readers on an immersive journey through the jungles of South America to discover the secret lives of sloths. The story is illustrated through spectacular imagery capturing some of the most intimate and rarely seen moments, while the narrative reveals some of the latest scientific discoveries and provides fascinating insights into the previously unknown habits of these unusual animals.

• Wild Republic Three-Toed Sloth -- Laze around with this cuddly sloth stuffed animal. This slow-moving friend looks just like the sloths you’d find in nature, with long arms and its characteristic three toes. Just wrap his long arms around your neck because, at about 12 inches tall, this sloth is the perfect size for hugging and holding.


• Hug a Sloth Kit -- Awww! You know you can't resist the cute little sloth! Learn all about the slooooow life as you snuggle this bitty treetop dweller. Guidebook features sloth facts and fancies, as well as an adoption certificate, suggested names, and more. The perfect gift for aficionados of all things adorable!


• Sloth Action Figure -- The Sloth spends almost its entire life in the trees of tropical rainforest. Its curved claws give it a firm grip on the branches of the trees. Since it always hangs from the branches upside down, the Sloth fur grows from its belly towards its back, instead of growing from its back or head. This allows rainwater to drain away better. Like real sloths, this one hangs from branches!
