Firey stripey lion friend, by Joshua, age 7, Surrey

I have mixed together a lion and a tiger. It’s personality is that although it looks scary it is actually kind and friendly. It lives in a tropical environment with erupting volcanoes. It’s favourite food is antelope and also larva balls which grow like coconuts on the tropical trees. It’s favourite element is fire especially firey volcanoes.

"Here is my invented Pokemon Napibom,I hope you like it. It makes a propeller with its two tails which it uses to fly,it uses its fins to swim,the spikes on its head act like a bull's horns.

This competition asked you to design a secret egg hidden somewhere in nature, and your entries went far beyond the obvious nests and burrows. Eggs arrived disguised as pine cones, floating on leaf boats, perched on volcano ledges, tucked into cloud cover and even masquerading as chocolate Easter eggs to fool foxes. Thank you to every reader who took up the challenge and thought like a parent bird, fish, reptile or imaginary creature trying to keep their precious egg safe.
We were swept away by the response to this competition. Letters arrived from rivers across the world – the Thames, the Mississippi and many more unnamed waterways – each one brimming with personality, passion and a genuine love of the natural world. You gave your rivers voices that were worried, hop...
Somewhere beneath a grassy field right now, a tiny insect is building an underground loudspeaker. Male mole crickets engineer horn-shaped burrows that amplify their calls hundreds of metres into the night air – and your child can recreate the same science at home using nothing but cardboard and a phone. This hands-on experiment explores sound, shape and natural engineering in a way that is genuinely surprising. No screens, no special equipment, just a brilliant idea borrowed from nature.
