Hey readers,
Did you love reading about the walrus in the November issue of Chickadee? These mammals are one of my favourite creatures – not only are they adorable, they’re also very powerful! These animals use their powerful bodies to swim and to move around on land.
Want to learn more about walruses?
Check out the video below for some extra facts!
Bye for now!

Hi everyone,
Did you read the story Wolverine and Little Thunder by Alan Syliboy in the November issue of Chickadee magazine? Did you know that you can also listen to the author and illustrator, Alan Syliboy read his story here.
If you liked this story be sure to check out Alan’s book about these characters. It will be coming out in Spring 2019.
Happy reading!

Today we celebrate these wonderful underwater creatures … jellyfish!
Despite their name, jellyfish aren’t fish at all. Jellyfish are invertebrates which means they have no bones. They may not have bones—or brains—but they have tons of tentacles that they use to sting their prey, like plankton. Check out this video about how jellyfish sting.
Happy viewing!

Hi readers,
Today is World Wildlife Day, when we take time to celebrate the world’s animals and plants and raise awareness for their protection.
The theme this year is “Big cats: predators under threat.” Big cats like lions, tigers and cheetahs are all endangered species, meaning there are fewer of them every year and there are not many left in the wild. Take some time to learn about one of these animals with this video about a young lion cub named Cumay!
How cute!
What are you doing to celebrate World Wildlife Day? Let us know in the comments!
Until next time,

Hey there readers,
It’s National Hippo Day!
To celebrate, here’s a very cute video of hippos having fun.
Did you know Hippo’s are the third largest mammals in the world? They’re also herbivores which means they only eat plants.
Hippo’s are awesome swimmers and can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes. Amazing!
Happy Hippo Day!
