Kid's Nature Magazines – Issue 84 – Greatest Gliders

October 2021: Greatest Gliders

In this issue, we’re celebrating creatures that are glad to glide, with flap-free flight!

Andean condors can fly over 160km without ever flapping their wings. Frigatebirds can soar for weeks without stopping.

And it’s not just birds that swoop through the skies. Meet some adorable furry aviators, from flying squirrels and sugar gliders to the mysterious colugos (aka flying lemurs). Look out for flying fish and soaring squid in the sea. And if you find yourself in a rainforest, beware of the flying paradise snakes and skydiving spiders!  

Catch up on the latest wildlife news from around the world and have fun with crafts and puzzles!
