Hi Kids
This is Anthony P reporting from Miami. Thought you
would
like to know about an animal program I saw last
night.
It was about the Sahara desert and Morocco.
There was a cool scorpion that is very dangerous. It
crawls into desert tents at night and crawls up on
your back. When you roll over, it stings you with its
barb, or its tail bites you and you have to use the
venom antidote to survive.
There is also a sand skink in Florida that knows how to swim though
the sand as if it was water. Its whole body is built
to survive under the sand and it moves super quick. It
has a French name which means fish of the sand.
Do you know what that name is? Write in at submit@newsforkidz.com and let us know. The winner's name will be announced on the site
Where's Felix? Just Track Him on the Mobile...
HELSINKI (Reuters) - Lost your cat or dog? No need to whistle or call on a fruitless search -- just track your pet with your mobile phone.A Finnish firm says "wanted" posters of lost pets will be a thing of the past thanks to new technology: a mobile phone and a tracking unit that is strapped on the back of the animal.
When the pet goes missing its movements are followed via an electronic map displayed on a handheld monitor by the owner.
The device is also expected to be popular among hunters needing to trace their dogs searching for game, said Matti Koskelo, sales manager at Pointer Solutions, one of the firms marketing the system.
