span style="line-height:1.6em">In celebration of Earth Day, Google has brought back its team of doodlers to tweak the tech company's logo into different environment-related doodles. 

Google users can view doodles of tundra and a polar bear, forest and red fox, grasslands and elephant, desert and tortoise, and ocean with coral reef and octopus that has Google-shaped tentacles. The images will randomly change each time user visits Google page.

For Google, Earth Day transcends culture, language and tradition, according to its official blog post

“The vastness of Earth’s diversity makes it an intimidating topic, but in the end I chose to highlight Earth’s five major biomes: the tundra, forest, grasslands, desert and coral reefs,” said doodler Sophie Diao, adding that people could keep refreshing their Google page to marvel at Earth’s beauty from different sides. 

Google has produced creative doodles since 2000 for Bastille Day, although the concept itself was introduced in 1998. It currently has a collection of more than 2,000 doodles created by illustrators, called doodlers, and engineers. 

Among Google's doodles related to Indonesia include Indonesian heroine of women's emancipation Raden Ajeng Kartini’s birthday and total solar eclipse 2016. (kes)
