Google has created an interactive doodle to celebrate Earth Day.

The American internet giant has devised one of its iconic moving illustrations to mark the annual global environmental protection event.

The doodle features a host of animals, all of whom wish the viewer a Happy Earth Day.

First up is the Rufous Hummingbird, a colourful ave whose wings can be seen flapping at the speed of light while it hungrily devours the sweet nectar inside a couple of blooming flowers.

Next up, a pair of dozing monkeys, identified as Japanese Macaques, huddle together for warmth in a snowy landscape.

There is also a throbbing moon jellyfish, a dung beetle gamely rolling a much larger ball of animal manure, a bloated, rotating puffer fish and a veiled chameleon doing its best to blend into its surroundings.

Earth Day was first held in 1970 and is now celebrated in more than 192 countries each year..
