Did you know that a
grizzly bear eats 20,000
calories a day (the
equivalent of 20 full
English breakfasts) or that
a polar bear can jump
to 1.83 metres (six feet)?
Want to know more?
Then check out our 30 Amazing Bear Facts
on page 14.
As excitement builds for the Rio Olympics,

Meet the track and field stars of the animal

kingdom on page 32.
It is not only big and strong animals that
are awe-inspiring. These insects may be tiny,
but one out of every three bites of food in
America alone comes from the honeybee.
The incredible pollinators are also the only
insects that produce food for humans. Read
all about these industrious honey makers on
page 24.
The issue is packed full of fun facts about
the world’s most fascinating species. Enjoy!

we meet the vets saving
animals across the globe, from
amputee elephants to lions
living in box-like cages. Read all
about it on page 68.
Birds that can’t fly

that there are birds that have

wings, but don’t actually fly.

Read all about the flightless
wonders of the world, from
the waddling penguin to the
striding emu, by turning over
to page 76.
