"Do Something Special Today for the Animals in your Life", some young people gathered in a shop in Yichang's Pearl Road Thurthday in their way to welcome this year's World Animal Day: showing their odd friends -- Green lizard, Grammostola Rosea, python regius and so on.

World Animal Day takes place every year on 4 October. Animal welfare groups, sanctuaries and individuals throughout the world hold special events to heighten public awareness of animal issues and to encourage people to think about how we as humans relate to animals.
