Kid's Nature Magazines – Issue 100 - Wildlife Heroes and... Villains?

February 2023, Wildlife Heroes and... Villains?

Our 100th anniversary edition is packed full of fascinating creatures – a lovely, social black-tailed prairie dog from the North American grasslands, an ancient-looking helmeted hornbill from Southeast Asia, and a terrifyingly beautiful Bengal tiger from Bhutan. A remarkable team of wildlife’s greatest heroes – or keystone species.

But are there also animal baddies? We investigate invasive species – are they always bad news? And are weeds nature’s friends or foes?

Also in this issue: a double-page comic strip about vultures – nature’s clean-up crew – plus crossword and picture puzzles, funny cartoons and crafty projects.
