National Draw a Dinosaur Day

On 30th January it's National Draw A Dinosaur Day. It was created by the National Geographic Society to encourage children and adults alike to draw dinosaurs. Whether old or young, many people are fascinated by the extinct animals that lived during the Mesozoic Era and their fossils.

The movie Jurassic Park has contributed to the popularity of the dangerous animal. Although the movie depicts them as scary creatures, it has done nothing to dim the enthusiasm for dinosaurs. So dust off your irresistible dinosaur jokes and impressions of dinosaurs for a roaring-good time on National Draw a Dinosaur Day.
