This Doodle celebrates National Sovereignty and Children's Day in Türkiye. Each year on April 23, Türkiye hosts thousands of children from around the world and gives them an opportunity to come together to celebrate and learn more about each other’s cultures.
On this day in 1920, the Turkish people took a critical step toward creating the Republic of Türkiye by founding the Turkish Grand National Assembly in Ankara. In addition to celebrating Turkish independence, exactly nine years later, the assembly agreed to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s proposal and declared April 23 a national holiday dedicated to children — and Türkiye became the first country to celebrate a Children’s Day.
Türkiye annually invites children from all countries to visit and join in on the festivities. Celebrations range from festivals for children to sing and dance to symbolic gestures like school children taking seats in the Turkish Parliament and “governing” the country for a day, as a reminder that children are the future.
Happy National Sovereignty and Children’s Day, Türkiye!

This king got a crown!
Sea otters rely on their incredibly tough teeth to crack through shellfish, and their dental health is closely related to their overall health. As such, we keep a close eye on our sea otters’ teeth and work with veterinarians to provide dental care as necessary!
That said, Oswald recently had a root canal and needed a crown. While it looks gold, it’s made of titanium and has a yellow metallic finish. Oswald is now recovering behind-the-scenes, and his caretakers report that he is doing well.
You can see the crown in the first pic, and check out the link above to see how they applied it!

This is a throwback, allll the way back to six years ago - but who could possibly get tired of watching happy sea otters and their treats?
Via Monterey Bay Aquarium, which writes, “The Aquarium's clever staff really outdid themselves with these ice eggs--the "frosting" is made from ground clams. Yum!”
