January 16th


Born this day in 1932, Dian Fossey. A primatologist. Fossey's study of gorillas changed our perception of primates. She observed gorillas in their environment and it was her life mission to save these amazing beings. Fossey was fierce in her protection of the gorillas. In 1985, Fossey was brutally murdered in the same way that her beloved gorillas were killed for trade. Go to www.gorillafund.org for more information about Dian Fossey and to find out how to help adopt a gorilla in the mist." Let us be humble, and always in awe of those beings so perfect. Let us help protect all of "Mother Herth."

On this day in 2005, at age 66, Adriana Ilieseu became the oldest woman to give birth.
