This is my December competition entry hope you like it. Oh and just to say I really love eco kids. It is sooooooo much fun to read and it teaches me so much about wildlife and animals. I often walk home from school really sad because lots of humans are destroying the earth. I watched this program about elephants and one got trapped in a snare it was horrific I can’t believe humans would o that for money. I am so glad that there are people like you around here to spread the word about animals and nature and that it needs our help!!!

Hello Eco Kids, my name is Sohn and I am 10 years old. I live with my family on Haida Gwaii. I don't have a favorite Ice Age mammal—I like them all. It would be awesome to bring them all back but I would worry about the carnivores eating everyone. There would be a lot to figure out before doing something like that.

Joshua Sumner, age 7, Newcastle upon Tyne
My name is Joshua. I am 7 years old. I would like to bring a sabre toothed tiger back to life to see how it lived in the Ice Age time. If we used its DNA, scientists could bring it back to life and we can find out how fast they can run. I want it to be able to run wild, but maybe in a national park, so it can be monitored. That's it from me for now.

Robert wants the woolly mammoth to come back so he can cuddle it!

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.
