There are numerous festivals that celebrate animals around the world. Year after year, people gather to show gratefulness to many animal species, and these are 3 of the biggest festivals.

Kukur Tihar

Kukur Tihar happens in Nepal as a part of Tihar, a big Hindu festival that lasts for five days and happens in late fall. On the first day, people worship crows, “the messengers of death.” On the second day, the stars are dogs, while the third day is all about cows. On the fourth day, oxen are celebrated, while day five is a bit different. On the last day of this festival, sisters place red dots (called tika) on brothers’ foreheads as an act of worship.

Transhumance Festival

This Spanish festival happens in the country’s capital Madrid and it’s officially called Fiesta de la Trashumancia. It’s a true spectacle where thousands of sheep go through Madrid as men and women in traditional outfits lead them, singing and dancing as they go.

Monkey Buffet Festival

You shouldn’t feed the monkeys who live in Thailand’s temples, except on this holiday that falls on the last Sunday of November. This is the day when impossible amounts of fruit and other food are placed in front of a temple and thousands of people come every year to feed the monkeys and play with them.

The Animal Café is the second and newest exotic restaurant in Bangkok where you can have lunch or dinner surrounded by wild animals. It’s located in the city’s center, at La Raffles community mall.

“The two-part venue offers a café area with an adjoining owl room on the ground floor and a restaurant/playroom area with the other animals upstairs. The entry fee is B200 per person (B100 for child) which once purchased is used to buy food and drink inside,” writes Bangkok Post.

“There’s a good variety of adorable animals you can pet, including OMG-it’s-so-soft chinchillas, big-eyed owls, agile fennec foxes and regal caracals. We came away with zero bites but regardless, we recommend you always be gentle when playing with them, making sure that staff are present too. On the more exotic side, there are cherry shrimps, colourful tiny crabs, Argentine horned frogs and a salamander to, uhm, watch. Oh and if you’re a Harry Potter fan, there are full costumes you can put on to feel like a true Gryffindor in the owl room too,” the portal writes.
