The World Earth Day 2019, a day which represents the uniqueness and diversity of the earth, has been celebrated by Google with a doodle.
Google marked the day with a doodle that shows six organisms with their superlatives such as being the tallest, smallest, biggest, etc.
“The last thing I wanted to do was feature animals based on their cuteness or how they might appeal in some way to my mammalian sensibilities. We tried to focus on having a good range of organisms from around the globe,” says Google’s Earth Day 2019 doodle creator Kevin Laughlin.
The World Earth Day 2019 Google doodle has a slideshow which features the wandering albatross, coastal redwood, paedophryne amauensis, Amazon water lily, coelacanth and deep cave springtail.
The albatross has the world’s widest wingspan that helps the bird soar hundreds of miles without a flap of its wings.
Coastal redwood, or Sequoia sempervirens, are the tallest trees in the world and is equivalent to the height of 75 humans.
Paedophryne amauensis is the smallest frog and the smallest-known vertebrate in the world at 7.7 mm in length only.
The Amazon water lily is one of the world’s biggest aquatic plants, capable of bearing the weight of a small person.
Coelacanths are now a rare order of fish which have been around on earth since the days of dinosaurs.
All life is incredible and worth celebrating. If I can inspire the smallest bit of curiosity or wonder in someone, that would make me very happy,” Mr Laughlin said.
