Pangolins are the world's only scaly mammal. The eight species of pangolin that roam the wilds of Asia and Africa are strong swimmers who rely on their long tongues and heightened sense of smell to find nourishment. Sadly however, pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world, and all 8 species face a significant threat from poachers and smugglers. Check out the World Wildlife Fund to learn more about the the pangolin's plight and to support WWF's efforts to save the pangolin and other endangered species. Today's featured species: Philippine pangolin Native to: The Philippines Day 4: The Philippines
By the time Pangolin reaches the Philippines, love is in full bloom. But even after all this work to build the perfect date, something still feels like it's missing...

Just then, Pangolin's powerful sense of smell leads it to the answer: flowers! Luckily, the forest is a good place to start gathering blooms.

Bouquet assembled, Pangolin searches and spots his scaly sweetheart in the distance, surrounded by the sunset's glow. Pangolin attempts a smooth greeting, but oh no! - the weight is too much for one mammal to carry. Heartbroken, Pangolin prepares for the worst: will the fairy tale end before it even began?

All of a sudden, a sweet plot twist! Pangolin is greeted with the perfect Valentine, straight from the heart. The two roll out on an adventure with the greatest gift of all - each other

In the end, the Pangolins learn that love isn't about the perfect bouquet, dessert, song, or dance. Love is about the experiences we share, and the time we spend together.
The Doodle team has been hard at work for several months to bring Pangolin Love to life. We hope you've enjoyed following Pangolin on its journey to find love!

Today's interactive Doodle celebrates Lake Xochimilco, a natural lake near Mexico City that is the last remaining native habitat for axolotls in the world (cousins of the salamander). The lake was once home to the ancient Aztec civilization during the 15th century, and eventually landowners in the colonial period took over occupation of the lake. On this day in 1920, the Mexican government returned Lake Xochimilco back to the locals. Lake Xochimilco now serves as a recreational site, cultural attraction, and home to the rare axolotl species.

Due to Lake Xochimilco's unique landscape, local farmers adopted the ancient chinampa farming method, which involves artificial floating gardens. These chinamperos (or farmers) grow hundreds of different aquatic plants, from common vegetables to medicinal herbs, in the nutrient-rich soil. It's also a popular destination for rowing and kayaking - cruising on colorful, wooden boats called trajineras is an essential pastime on the lake.

Lake Xochimilco is also currently the last remaining native habitat on Earth for axolotls, fresh-water salamanders that live in the water instead of on land. Their mouths are permanently upturned into a slight smile, and they can regenerate limbs, gills, and even parts of their eyes and brains! Unfortunately, these delicate creatures were listed as a critically endangered species in 2008.

Legend has it that their namesake - the Aztec god of fire and lightning, Xolotl - disguised himself as a salamander to avoid sacrifice. The axolotl is so culturally revered in Mexico that the Bank of Mexico added the salamander to the country's 50-peso bill in 2021.

Today, many are working to protect Lake Xochimilco after years of pollution, invasive species, man-made disturbances, and other obstacles have harmed the axolotl ecosystem. Local chinamperos have been actively restoring their lands with better fertilizers and water filters to preserve these creatures that have become an integral part of their identity and way of life.
Click today's Doodle to hop on a trajinera boat with salamander tourists to see if you can snap a pic of some of the axolotls that call Lake Xochimilco home! Doodle artist, Helen Leroux, traveled to Mexico to research Lake Xochimilco. Check out photos and videos from her trip!

Today's interactive game Doodle celebrates the traditional Mexican card game, Lotería! It's also our second-ever multiplayer experience: Play the game with friends in a private match, or match with users around the globe at random.

A smile instantly comes to my face every time I think of Lotería. I think of being with my extended family in Mexico for the holidays, scattering around my Tia Cruz 's house, anxiously waiting for a round to start. I think of us tossing beans at each other in attempts to distract the other from our boards. Most importantly, I think of the laughter, the excitement, and how all the worries of the world melted away as this game brought us together, even if just for a few hours.

So upon being prompted to think of possible interactive Doodles to create for the following year, Lotería almost instantly came to mind. I wondered: If this simple game was so magical and powerful in its original state, how might that be amplified in the digital space? And so the Lotería Doodle was born.

It was exciting to collaborate with five Mexican and Mexican-American illustrators to reimagine many of the classic Lotería game art for the Doodle-along with some new cards for a fun sorpresa! We also partnered with popular Mexican YouTuber Luisito Comunica, who serves in the iconic role of game card announcer for the Doodle.

Although it has changed a great deal since being officially copyrighted in Mexico on this day 106 years ago, Lotería is still wildly popular today across Mexico and Latinx communities, whether as a Spanish language teaching tool or for family game night.

Originating in Italy in the 15th century, Lotería first moved to Spain before reaching Mexico in 1769. The rules are similar to bingo in that players mark spots on a tabla, or board, with a token (traditionally a raw bean) and attempt to fill it before all other players. A designated card announcer randomly pulls colorfully illustrated cards like " La Luna," or " El Arbol," and sometimes improvises poetic descriptions that match spaces on the tablas. A shout of " ¡lotería!" or " ¡buenas! " declares victory for one lucky player, ending the round.

Characters on cards have been updated several times to reflect the social norms of the time. One of the best known versions was created in Mexico by Frenchman Clemente Jacques in 1887. The "Don Clemente Gallo" edition, copyrighted in 1913, features the imagery that's become a form of folk art synonymous with Lotería.

Today, Lotería's iconic imagery and the shared experience it fosters across people of any generation has become a source of pride and celebration for Mexican culture. Whether you play today with your familia or a new amig@ around the world, we hope today's Doodle inspires fun, curiosity, and a healthy dose of competencia ;)
¡Feliz Aniversario, Lotería!

Global Marketing Lead, Google Doodle

Today's Doodle art was illustrated by the following guest artists: Mexico-based Chabaski, Mexico-born Cecilia, Hermosillo-born Luis Pinto, Los Angeles-based Loris Lora, and Mexico City-based Vals.

Below, they share their thoughts behind the making of the Doodle:
Q: Why was this topic meaningful to you personally? Chabaski: Luis: Loris: Q: What are your first memories (or any memories) of playing Lotería? Chabaski: Loris: Vals: Q: What were your first thoughts when you were approached about the project? Cecilia: Luis: Vals: Q: Did you draw inspiration from anything in particular for the cards you drew? Luis: Q: Of the cards you worked on, which one is your favorite and why? Chabaski: Cecilia: Luis: Q: What message do you hope people take away from the Doodle? Chabaski: Loris: Vals: Cecilia: For the people that have never played Lotería, I hope the Doodle gives them an excuse to take a break and have a good time with family and friends. I also hope it makes people want to get their own Lotería set. To the people that grew up playing Lotería, I hope the Doodle awakes beautiful memories. I hope it makes them feel the way one feels when an old, beloved song starts playing unexpectedly on the radio. I hope that people who live far from Mexico or Latin America discover this game and the traditional value it offers. And for people who have played Lotería, it would be beautiful if it awakens memories of their childhood. I hope people enjoy all the fun artistic interpretation of these classic cards. They were so much fun to work on. I hope they can see how beautiful Mexican traditions are. Sketches of the Doodle card art by guest artist Luis Pinto Sketches of the Doodle card art by guest artist Chabaski Sketches of the Doodle card art by guest artist Cecilia Ruiz Learn how the Google Doodle team used the Firebase Realtime Database to build this multiplayer game. From the cards I worked on, my favorite is El Músico. The character, colors, and composition are very playful and redesigning it gave me a lot of joy. For me, it is an iconic Lotería card that is closely linked to the love the country of Mexico has for its music and artists. My favorite is El Sol, because I always felt like the sun in the original set looked too serious. In a way, I think my sun turned out to be more joyful and warm-more "sunny" I would say. La Campana, because everywhere you go you can find one decorated according to where you are. Also La Mano, because I just love their shape. I drew inspiration from many sources for the cards, particularly from the patterns and colors that you can see in the alebrijes [colorfully painted imaginary creatures with elements from different animals], mexican handicrafts, and lucha libre [Mexican wrestling]. I enjoyed adding a Luchador [well known Mexican wrestler] to Lotería's El Mundo card. I was surprised and then emotional, since it is a very iconic game. I was very excited to participate, especially knowing that there would be other artists involved. Absolutely YES! One of the first memories I have of playing Lotería is from visiting my grandmother on Sunday afternoons where the family used to play, using rice grains instead of chips. I remember being 9 or 10 years old and playing Lotería with a group of older ladies at my parents' friend's house and using pinto beans as placeholders. I think there was one time my little brother and I kept winning against them. I remember when I was around 6 years old, my mom and aunts would gather around a table and play for hours until we had to go home. We would bet a couple of pesos, which made it more fun. Like many Latinxs, Lotería was a game I grew up with and loved. Our whole family and friends would get together and play at parties. Lotería is a game that is closely related to Mexican culture, my childhood memories, and my family. The characters, objects, colors, and dynamics of the game are also details that I feel very attracted to, along with the sense of identity La Lotería gives to Mexico and the Latinx / Latinamerican community. I think playing Lotería is in every Mexican's memory, and age doesn't matter-everyone will enjoy playing it. In my case it's been one of the family faves since I was a kid.
Luis: I hope people will discover or rediscover this wonderful game with a new perspective through the vision of all the talent and the team involved in this project. That they can share it and have fun with it. And for the Mexican, Latinamerican / Latinx community, I hope that they can feel proud of their identity and the richness of their culture.

Today's interactive game Doodle celebrates swing dancing and the Savoy Ballroom-an iconic Swing Era dance hall that thrived from the 1920s to 50s in New York City's Harlem neighborhood. On this day in 2002, Frankie Manning and Norma Miller, two of members of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, unveiled a commemorative plaque where its entrance once stood.

The Savoy Ballroom made history as one of the first racially integrated public spaces in United States when it opened its doors with a no-discrimination policy in 1926. In the early 20th century, Harlem housed a predominantly Black community, including those who migrated from other parts of the U.S. and the Caribbean. This community's impact was prevalent throughout Harlem, as the neighborhood thrived as a site for creativity and culture-and the home of the Savoy Ballroom. Albeit a white-owned institution, the Black community of Harlem made the Savoy the cultural heartbeat of the neighborhood and an epicenter of innovation for swing dance and music worldwide.

The Savoy's ballroom awaited guests up two marble staircases on the second floor, featuring a 10,000-square foot mahogany and maple dance floor that was a city block long. The glamorous dance hall sparkled as a hub of jazz and jive. The Savoy's twin bandstands hosted seamless live music as many of the world's acclaimed jazz musicians-including the likes of Chick Webb, Count Basie, and Ella Fitzgerald-trumpeted out the soundtrack for thousands of dancers each night (and over 700,000 annually!). In step with the big band energy, patrons powered the nightclub with the electricity of ever-evolving swing dance styles. The Charleston, the Big Apple, and in later years the Mambo, were among dances enjoyed at the Savoy, but the most popular was the vivacious Lindy Hop, which was born and bred in the ballroom.

The Lindy Hop is characterized by a swinging rhythmic connection between partners, a flurry of acrobatic air steps in the performance version, and footwork that contributed to one of the Savoy's signature nicknames: "The Home of Happy Feet." With the synergistic life forces of jazz dance and music, the Savoy Ballroom shined as a melting pot of Harlem nightlife during a time of racial segregation for the next three decades.

In 1958, the Savoy Ballroom closed its doors for good but its international impact is still felt to this day. At its historic location in between 140th and 141st Street on New York City's Lenox Avenue, a commemorative plaque honors the Ballroom and its legacy as a home of cultural innovation.

Here's to all the memories swingin' at the Savoy!

Today's interactive game Doodle celebrates the 82nd birthday of Gerald "Jerry" Lawson, one of the fathers of modern gaming who led the team that developed the first home video gaming system with interchangeable game cartridges. The Doodle features games designed by three American guest artists and game designers: Davionne Gooden, Lauren Brown, and Momo Pixel.

Lawson was born in Brooklyn, New York on this day in 1940. He tinkered with electronics from an early age, repairing televisions around his neighborhood and creating his own radio station using recycled parts. He attended Queens College and City College of New York before departing early to start his career in Palo Alto, California. At the time, the city and its surrounding region had become known as "Silicon Valley" due to the explosion of new, innovative tech companies starting up in the area.

Upon arriving in California, Lawson joined Fairchild Semiconductor as an engineering consultant. A few years later, Lawson was promoted to Director of Engineering and Marketing of Fairchild's video game department where he led the development of the Fairchild Channel F system (the "F" stood for fun!). This was the first home video game system console that featured interchangeable game cartridges, an 8-way digital joystick and a pause menu. The Channel F paved the way for future gaming systems like the Atari, SNES, Dreamcast and more.

In 1980, Lawson left Fairchild to start his own company, VideoSoft-one of the earliest Black-owned video game development companies. The company created software for the Atari 2600, which popularized the cartridge Lawson and his team developed. Although they closed five years later, Lawson had solidified himself as a pioneer in the industry and continued to consult multiple engineering and video game companies throughout the rest of his career.

In 2011, the International Game Developers Association recognized Lawson as an industry trailblazer for his contributions to gaming. The University of Southern California also created the Gerald A. Lawson Fund to support underrepresented students who wish to pursue undergraduate or graduate degrees in game design or computer science. Lawson's achievements are memorialized at the World Video Game Hall of Fame in Rochester, New York.

Here's to you, Jerry!
Special thanks to Jerry Lawson's children, Anderson and Karen Lawson, for their collaboration on this project. Below they share their thoughts on today's Doodle and their father's legacy.
Gerald Anderson Lawson was an engineer, always curious, critical in his thinking, and logical in how he solved problems. He challenged us to extend beyond our limits and encouraged young people to pursue careers in science and technology.

As a child in the 1940's, he was inspired by George Washington Carver. That inspiration provided the spark that ignited his desire to pursue a career in electronics. He loved what he did and did what he loved. Considering the obvious challenges for African-Americans at the time, his professional achievements were quite remarkable.

Due to a crash in the video game market, our father's story became a footnote in video-game history. However, over the past few years, there have been numerous awards, scholarships, and media that have recognized him. Our family is eternally grateful to those who have worked tirelessly to bring his story to the public.

Today, we celebrate what would've been Dad's 82nd birthday with the world. We would like to thank Google for working with us to share our father's story in this Doodle. May his story continue to inspire numerous young people around the globe to achieve something remarkable.

Look amongst the greenery of Germany's lush gardens and you might spot a red-capped gartenzwerg, or garden gnome. Today's Doodle - just in time for Garden Day in Germany - celebrates these tiny statues for their big role in German history.

Gnome figures first appeared in 13th-century Anatolia and re-emerged in 16th-century Italy. The common garden gnome originated in 19th-century Germany from the mining area of Thuringia. Here, local craftsmen are given credit for hand-crafting the gnomes as we know them-with shaggy beards and pointy hats.

Propelled by local myths and increased leisure time, the gnomes began to find homes in gardens throughout the country. Legend has it they protect these gardens and bring good luck.

In today's interactive Doodle, you'll learn a bit more about how the humble gnome is made. Then, you'll enlist a group of gnomes to help you decorate a garden of your own!

Here's how the game works: Use your trusty catapult (or trebuchet to be precise) to launch your clay gnomes into the farthest reaches of your garden. The farther your gnome travels, the more flowers you plant-and the more points you earn! Once you learn the basics, you can choose from six colorful gnomes with different shapes, weights, and bounciness. Try each one to see which gnome goes the greatest distance towards making your garden the most beautiful of all.
The Doodle Team explored many different ideas, concepts, and creative directions for celebrating the history and culture of the garden gnome. To help set context, the team designed a brief history lesson on how German garden gnomes were originally made. You can see this introductory animation below: Early draft of the introductory story below For the visual design of the game, lead artist Gerben Steenks found inspiration in Germany's rich traditions in wood carving, village architecture, and folk history. He was also able to draw from a wide variety of flowers, trees, and other plant life that are unique or commonly found in German gardens.

Gerben also spent considerable time exploring different designs for the gnome statues featured in the game, including a variety of different hairstyles, mustaches, beards, and clothing. Once your gnome lands to rest in your garden, we wanted to give players a fun, visual reward to highlight the humor found in many traditional gnome statues. Gerben explored different ideas to have each gnome transform into a unique and funny pose. More polished final poses. FUN FACT: At one point, there was an idea for a gnome hot tub pose! The varying sizes and shapes of the gnomes also allowed our Doodle engineers to play with the physics of the gnome statues. In other words, this allowed them to bounce and travel at different spees on the grass and in the air. In some cases, you can even take advantage of some helpful butterflies, mushrooms, or logs to keep your gnome moving and bouncing along. Examples of this below.
