Your Cart is Empty
For this February's competition, we’d asked you to think of a fantasy friendship between you and… a wild animal. We wanted to know that if you could be friends or form an alliance with ANY creature, which animal would you choose and why? Where would you go? And how would you help each other? Wow! What creative posters, letters and poems we received! Thank you to everyone who entered!

"My animal friend would be an octopus and I would call him Cracken. We would dive into the ocean and pick up all the litter because it’s affecting his habitat and is killing and hurting the ocean. I would take him to my hockey training session, where Cracken could play in goal, I think he would be amazing in goal because he has 8 legs to stop the ball with. After hockey we would come home and play Nintendo, Cracken would need 4 controllers, 2 tentacles for each controller, I think he would choose to be Nabbit, Toad, Luigi and Toadette. After he would help me do an ocean jigsaw puzzle. Then we would go to the Sealife Centre where he could see another Octopus named Garmadon. By Noah"

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...
