Today, on April 10, all animal rights activists and wildlife lovers can join the events on the occasion of the World Jaguar Day, UNN reports.

The jaguar is the world's third largest member of the cat family. It looks like a leopard, but its ecological characteristics are more like a tiger. It has an extremely powerful bite, even compared to other big cats.

The jaguar is able to bite through the armor of armored reptiles and uses an unusual method of killing: it bites directly through the victim's skull between the ears to inflict a fatal bite to the brain.

The jaguars' habitat is now mainly in South America. Although, these predators are still found in Central America.

Since the nineteenth century, the jaguar population has been gradually endangered by farmers who exterminated them to protect their livestock. And also because of poachers who uncontrollably killed these predators for their fur.

Scientists estimate that there are no more than 150,000 jaguars in the wild today.

Today, you can also celebrate the birthday of a commonly used object with an interesting history - the English pin.

It was on April 10, 1849, that the talented American inventor Walter Hunt received a patent for a pin with a needle point covered by a cap. Almost immediately, he sold the patent for $400, and he did so solely to pay off a $15 debt.

But in the same year, an enterprising Briton named Charles Rowley received a patent for a pin of the same design in his homeland. In fact, that is why the pin is called the English pin.

April 10 is also the International Day of Brothers and Sisters. The event is dedicated to the study of the relationship between brothers and sisters.

Since the first scientific studies, the term "siblings" has been applied to siblings, allowing us not to specify the gender of a person every time - male (brother) or female (sister) - but to designate people who share common parents.

Some scholars believe that the order of birth determines a person's character more fully than even gender, nationality, or membership in a particular social group.

For example, older siblings are considered more responsible and intelligent than others, with a slightly higher IQ than younger siblings.

It is also believed that a small age difference between siblings contributes to conflict, while a significant age gap creates a relationship of guardianship between the older sibling and the younger.

Some of the most famous siblings are German linguists and storytellers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, airplane inventors Wilber and Orville Wright, writers Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë, and tennis players Venus and Serena Williams.

April 10 is also World Work from Home Day.

Remote work is not a phenomenon born in the digital age. Historically, people have worked from home or nearby, long before the Industrial Revolution centralized jobs in factories and office buildings. With the digital revolution, this trend has been reversed, allowing people to work from anywhere with internet access.

Among the disadvantages of working from home are imperfect technical equipment of the workplace, lack of or insufficient social contacts, lack of external motivation and team support, difficulties with time management, and high demands on employee self-organization.

Today you can still join the celebration of Banana Day, Homeopathy Day, and Pink Day.

According to the church calendar, today is the day of remembrance of the martyrs Terence, Alexander, Theodore, Maximus, Africanus, Pompius, Zinon and others

According to legend, all of them were Christians and served in the army during the reign of Emperor Decius.

When the persecution of Christians intensified once again, the men destroyed the pagan temple.

All of them were captured by the emperor's order, tortured for a long time and brutally, and then executed.

On April 10, Terenty, Maksym, Oleksandr, and Fedir celebrate their name days. Zinovy.
