A sloth, so lazy and content, with nowhere to go.
Its fur, a shade of brown, blending with the trees,
Easily overlooked, but oh, it's such a peaceful ease.
With every movement, it takes its time,
No need to rush, no ne ..read more

In our previous adventure, we learned about the superpowers of lizards' eyes, which help lizards see colours by moonlight. In fact, gecko colour vision is 350 times more sensitive to low light than ours.
However, did you know that our human eyes are equally extraordinary? Because our eyes are less sensitive than gecko colour vision, our pupils change size whenever the light changes! This means that they grow or shrink to allow just the right amount of light to enter your eyes and enable you to see.
But what does it mean for light to enter our eyes? Well, buckle up for a journey into the enchan ..read more

Careful My Calf
The ground shakes,
The wind is strong,
The waves soar high,
Like mountains in the sea.
Be careful of the surface,
My little calf,
Be careful where you swim,
Do not dare to swim up.
Up to where the waves crash,
Up to where you hear the wind dash.
We have to swim up,
Just once or twice for air,
