National Wildlife Day was founded in 2006 by animal advocate Colleen Paige, in memory of the beloved wildlife expert and conservationist Steve Irwin.  It was a way to honor Irwin’s tireless devotion to animal species worldwide, and his dedication to educating the public about the incredible animals with whom we share this planet.

Often times you don’t have to go too far to find wildlife; as is the case with this Mama Duck watching over her little ones as they play in a parking lot puddle. 

Show us the wildlife in your corner of the world!
