Kid's Nature Magazines – Issue 79 – Creatures with Tentacles

May 2021: Creatures with Tentacles!

This month, we are getting up close with some of the most incredible creatures that have tentacles. Snakes with tentacles! A tentacled moth! A star-nosed mole... Prepare to be amazed!

We explore some of the most beautiful and fragile species of the ocean: jellyfish, sea anemones and nudibranchs. Then we look into the myth of the fearsome kraken.

And how mind-blowing are cuttlefish? They can change colour and texture, hypnotise prey, walk on the seabed, and count to five.

Our readers can also catch up on wildlife news from around the world, get creative with crafts and enjoy pages of puzzles and posters.
