In our ‘Outer Space’ issue, we asked you to design some alien life. Your entries were out of this world! It’s delightful to know that our readers are such a creative bunch of Eco Kids!
This is my Pluto Parrot. It sleeps whilst it flies. And it eats other birds and Pluto pears.
My alien is called Gabeeaddeeaydoe.
He has four arms and hands with lots of fingers, so that he can do lots of things at once and grip really well. On his hands he has suckers that help him to climb brilliantly. Gabeeaddeeaydoe has large ears that can swivel like a cat’s to help him hear well and he has large eyes and a big nose to help him to see and smell well and lots of sharp little teeth. Gabeeaddeeaydoe has wings so that he can fly. I hope you like him; he is very friendly!
We have named the planet Conquer and made the aliens out of conkers and left-over metal bits and bobs.

You've been designing brilliant new contenders for the Astonishing Amazon Animal Showdown – piranhas with jaws that regrow in whole quarters, a hoatzin that ferments its dinner in a throat pouch, a tailless whip scorpion that senses danger through its legs, and a jaguar with one of the most powerful bites of any mammal. Thank you to every reader who did the research and made the case for their champion.
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.
