Today represents two countries celebrating their independence day. The date celebrates Mexico's independence on 16th September 1810 from the Spanish Empire, and Papua New Guinea's independence on 16th September 1975, from Australia. #FactsMatter #Mexico #PapuaNewGuinea

On Papua New Guinea’s Independence Day, we celebrate a country shaped by extraordinary cultural and linguistic diversity, from its highlands to its islands and coastal communities. May independence continue to mean space for every community, language and tradition, with women and men able to participate equally in public life and shape PNG’s future.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐟🐘 A fuzzy red-and-orange #fish spotted off #PapuaNewGuinea has been identified as a new ghost #pipefish species named Solenostomus snuffleupagus after #SesameStreet’s Mr. #Snuffleupagus. Researchers confirmed it through measurements, CT scans, and #DNA, and found its scruffy look likely mimics floating #algae for #camouflage.
