Squirrel Appreciation Day 
January 21st
The red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel  Sciurus vulgaris . The red squirrel is an arboreal, omnivorous rodent.
      Squirrel Appreciation Day is an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate your tree climbing, nut gathering neighborhood squirrels. It's held in mid-winter when food sources are scarce for squirrels and other wildlife. Sure, squirrels spent all fall gathering and "squirreling " away food. But, their supplies may not be enough. And, the variety of food is limited. So, give them an extra special treat today to supplement their winter diets.
     Not everyone likes squirrels. While they are fun to watch skirting around the yard and trees, they are aggressive at bird feeders. Squirrels tip almost any bird feeder and spill the seeds in search of the particular seeds they want. In the fall, they attack pumpkins on front porches in search of the seeds inside. For gardeners they dig up and steal flower bulbs, and may eat some of the veggies in your garden.   
     When you think about it, mid winter is the best time to appreciate squirrels. In the winter they provide a little entertainment. During other times of the year, you may look at them as a pest in the flower and vegetable gardens.

1904 Summer Olympics 

Tug of war is a sport that directly puts two teams against each other in a test of strength.  Teams pull on opposite ends of a rope, with the goal being to bring the rope a certain distance in one direction against the force of the opposing team's pull.  Tug of war was part of the Olympic Games from 1900 until 1920, but has not been included since.  There are tug a war clubs in many countries.

The hippo's yawn is not a sign of sleepiness or boredom but is actually a threat gesture, displaying long, thick, razor-sharp canine teeth, or tusks, with which it is capable of biting a small boat in half. Being fearlessly protective of their turf and young, hippos have killed hundreds of people in Africa - more than any other wild animal.
Hippopotamus amphibious means "river horse." The hippo, weighing 1,800 kg (4,000 pounds) and more, lives in Africa, south of the Sahara and along the length of the Nile river, although its range once included Asia and large parts of Europe.
18% of of a hippo's weight is made up by its 5 cm (2 in) skin. Interestingly, beneath the hide is a relatively thin layer of fat.
Hippos prefer rivers with deep water and nearby reed beds and grasslands, but are also found in salt-water areas near river mouths, and in lakes in Central Africa. They are hoofed vegetarians, feeding on grass, fallen fruit, and occasionally on cultivated crops such as sugar cane or corn during the night. They spend most of the day in the water.
The hippo is the third biggest land animal, slightly smaller but heavier than a white rhino (the elephant is the biggest).
In spite of its huge size - 3 meters (12 feet) in length, 1,5 meters (five feet) tall, with a mouth measuring a half meter (two feet) across - the hippopotamus can outrun a human.
The bellowing of a bull hippo measures an ear-splitting 115 decibels, sounding like the roar of a lion. (The blue whale is the loudest animal, calling out at up to 188 decibels.)
A group of hippos is called a "bloat."
