The novels The Hobbit and the trilogy The Lord of the Rings trilogy written by J.R.R. Tolkien, bring to life the world of Middle-Earth. According to the stories, Bilbo and Frodo were born during the Third Age in the years 2890 and 2968 respectively. Translated to Shire-reckoning, Bilbo was born in 1290 and Frodo in 1368.A bunch of Tolkien YouTubers have put together a Hobbit Day 2022 Tolkien YouTubers Collaboration Playlist to create "a celebration worthy of a Hobbit." I particularly recommend Clans of the Hobbits | Hobbit Day 2022, which ties into "Rings of Power" on Amazon Prime.
Reading the book or watching movies are other ways to enjoy the day. Create a celebration worthy of a Hobbit.
On a more serious note, today is also World Rhino Day. Watch the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo video explaining its significance.
Today is #WorldRhinoDay! We're in Encounter Africa with #CMZoo senior lead keeper, Annie, to raise awareness for the five remaining rhino species left in the wild. Black rhinos, like our 17-year-old Jumbe, are critically endangered, along with Javan and Sumatran rhinos. White rhinos are considered near threatened and greater one-horned rhinos are vulnerable to extinction. Annie tells us how coming to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo can help wild rhinos, and what you can do to support Jumbe's wild relatives.I'm continuing the conservation theme in The First Day Of Fall | September 22, 2022 from CNN 10.
It's officially fall and today we're explaining the science behind the autumnal equinox. We're also traveling to Australia to learn about a scientist using a network of sound recording devices to track an endangered species of bird. And finally, our own Coy Wire chats with two sports icons about their secrets to success.Science and technology in the service of studying and helping preserve biodiversity!
As I promised yesterday, I plan on returning with more television tomorrow. Stay tuned!
