African Buffalo: POWER, PRIDE AND PURE MUSCLE • When people think of Africa’s Big Five, lions, elephants and rhinos often steal the spotlight – but the African buffalo quietly holds the title of one of the most dangerous and fascinating animals on the continent. With massive horns, a powerful body and a strong sense of teamwork, this animal is not just big – it’s bold, brave and brilliant at survival.

WHAT SCHOOL SUBJECTS HELP GAME MAKERS? • If you like games, you might have wondered how people learn to make them. Do game makers all study the same thing? Do they start young? Do you need to be amazing at one subject to do it? Here’s the truth: games are made using lots of different skills, and that means lots of school subjects matter – sometimes in surprising ways.

Zulu Warriors: MASTERS OF COURAGE AND STRATEGY • Long before modern armies and advanced weapons, powerful warrior societies shaped history with skill, discipline and bravery. Among the most famous of these were the Zulu warriors of southern Africa.

Wired for Wonder: THE SCIENCE OF ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR • Have you ever watched a flock of birds fly together in perfect shapes across the sky and wondered, How do they know where to go? Or maybe you’ve seen a video of a bat zooming through a dark cave without bumping into anything and thought, How is that even possible?

March Madness: GET GAME-READY FOR A NEW SEASON • March is a big month for sport. Fields and courts start filling up again, teams get back together and famous tournaments like March Madness remind everyone how exciting competition can be.

Hearing in 3-D • You are riding your bike down a busy street. A motorcycle roars up behind you. A bus honks its hooter. A man coughs. A radio blares from somewhere nearby. A trash can lid bangs on the sidewalk. A bird sings. You have the amazing ability to hear all of these sounds at the same time.
