Kid's Nature Magazines – Issue 87 – Strange Noses!

This issue stars the world’s largest land mammal – the elephant.

We celebrate their intelligence, strength, super communication skills and their sensational, multi-tasking trunks. Elephants are surrounded by myths and legends. Do they ever forget? Are they terrified of mice? We sort the facts from the fiction – and the truth might surprise you!

We look at other creatures with nutty noses, too – from sword-nosed bats and star-nosed moles to a Madagascan moth with a 30cm-long proboscis. You’ll be amazed by nature’s most sensational snouts and smelling superpowers!

Get the scoop on the latest nature news. Challenge young minds with puzzles and quizzes. And have fun with monthly projects and competitions!
