the ‘World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development’ is an international annual holiday for the promotion of diversity issues. ‘Diversity Day’ was created by UN’s General Assembly in consequence of the terrorist attacks on September 11th as a chance to help understand the value of cultural diversity and learn how to live together harmoniously.
living together in harmony is one thing which zebras are known for. the social wild African animals are related to horses and characterized by their typical black and white striped coats. their stripes have different patterns that are distinctive to each individual. in contrast to horses and donkeys the equids have never really been domesticated.
also wild mammals with a black and white coat are pandas. the large bears live in forests in south central China. besides their distinctive black patches around their eyes and ears they are known for their almost exclusive bamboo diet.
