Kid's Nature Magazines – Issue 102 - Terrific Tails

April 2023, Terrific Tails

Animals put their tails to all sorts of uses – from swatting flies to storing fat and warming their noses. Some even use them as whips! Others lose their tails to save their lives – and grow new ones later. But if monkeys need their tails so much, why don’t apes and gorillas have one? And if they’re so useful, why don’t humans have tails? Or do we? Find out in our new issue!

Eco Kids also learn how to ‘talk tail’, celebrate endangered spider monkeys, and discover the titanic tails of dinosaurs.
