Every year, April 22 marks the Earth Day. Google has commemorated the day with a beautiful doodle showing five of our planet's different biomes.
In the doodle, the Google logo turns into a polar bear in the tundra, a red fox in the forest, an elephant in the grasslands, a tortoise in the desert and an coral reef and octopus in the ocean. A different one greets you each time you open the website.
Explaining the doodle, Google's Sophie Diao, says, "The vastness of Earth's diversity makes it an intimidating topic, but in the end I chose to highlight Earth's five major biomes: the tundra, forest, grasslands, desert, and coral reefs. In each illustration, you'll find one animal who's been singled out for their 15 minutes of fame. Each time you visit Google.com, you'll randomly receive one of the five doodles. Keep refreshing to admire a different side of Earth's immense beauty."
Earth Day was first celebrated in the year 1970, and was originally conceived by peace activist John McConnell in 1969. The day aims to to raise public awareness about environmental issues and related events are held across the world. Google Doodle Celebrates Earth Day 2016.
