Penguins

People often laugh when they see penguins walking. They look very funny waddling
from side to side on their short little legs. However Adélie penguins are able to walk 200
kilometres across the Antarctic sea ice to the place where they lay their eggs. Penguins are
such good swimmers that early explorers thought they were fish.

They use their flippers to 'fly' through the water like other birds use their wings to fly
through the air. Emperor penguins, the biggest penguins, can go as fast as 50 kilometres an
hour. If an Adélie penquin is swimming quickly, it can jump 2 metres out of the water. They
do this when they are being chased by leopard seals, which like to eat them.

Emperor penguins can hold their breath underwater for twenty minutes. This means
they can dive very deep to hunt for food. The deepest dive scientists know about is 565
metres. That's over half a kilometre!

When the male Emperor penguins are looking after eggs, they join together in tight
groups. In the middle of the group it might be 38°C, while on the outside of the group it might
be -35°C. When the penguins on the outside get too cold, they move slowly to the inside and
others take their place on the outside.

The animal has biggest ears

Have you ever wondered what animal has the biggest ears? Of course, it's the African
elephant. We all know this. Scientists know this. However, scientists have looked at what
animal has the biggest ears for its Images Public Domain body size. The elephant has big ears
but it also has a giant body. Zoologists from the American Museum of Natural History in New
York City have found out which animal has the biggest ears relative to its body size. And the
answer is... the long-eared jerboa. Not many people know about this cute, big-eared creature.
It is a rodent. It lives in the deserts of China and Mongolia. It is a nocturnal creature, which
means it is active at night and sleeps during the day.

Zoologist Mary Ellen Holden described the jerboa. She said its body measures about
10 centimetres (not counting its long tail). Its ears are 3.8 to 5 cm long. This means its ears are
40 to 50 per cent as long as its body length. The elephant's ears are just 17 per cent of its body
length. Professor Holden said: "The jerboa has the longest ears for the size of its body in
the entire animal kingdom." Professor Holden explained why some animals have large ears.
They usually live in very hot areas. Large ears help an animal to keep cool in the heat. Their
ears are large, thin and have many tiny blood vessels. The blood releases heat from the body
into the air, which helps the animal cool down.

A ban on the internet of Myanmar military

The Tatmadaw, the military junta that overthrew Myanmar's government on February
the 1st, has blocked access to Facebook. The Ministry of Communications issued a statement
saying Facebook would be halted in order to maintain "stability". The social media giant is
used by a majority of the population and the Tatmadaw sees it as a threat to its rule. In the
days after the coup, a civil disobedience page that emerged on Facebook attracted over
200,000 followers. Human Rights Watch Asia said: "The Tatmadaw sees Facebook as its
Internet nemesis because it's the dominant communication channel in the country and has been
hostile to the military." A Twitter user said it was, "a ban on the Internet".

The Tatmadaw seized power from Myanmar's democratically elected civilian
government. It immediately declared a yearlong state of emergency. The coup took place after
days of tension between the military and the government. The Tatmadaw refused to accept the
results of November's national election, alleging massive voter fraud. It has arrested former
Minister of Foreign Affairs Aung San Suu Kyi, who is now being held in detention at an
undisclosed location. Authorities filed charges against her for allegedly illegally importing six
unregistered walkie-talkie radios. The military also arrested former president Win Myint. He
is being charged with violating coronavirus containment measures during the election.

Electric-car battery charging

Car makers are spending a lot of money on electric cars. In the future, electric cars will
replace petrol cars. Environmentalists believe this will reduce the amount of CO2 put into the
atmosphere. A big problem for electric cars is charging the battery. Some batteries in today's
electric cars can take up to 12 hours to charge fully. However, a company in Israel says it has
created a lithium-ion battery that people can charge in just five minutes. This is the same
amount of time it takes to fill a tank of gas with petrol. The new lithium-ion batteries were
developed by the Israeli company StoreDot. They are being manufactured by a Chinese
company called Eve Energy.

The new batteries could totally transform driving. They would mean electric cars
would be able to travel as far as petrol cars. Many people with electric cars today suffer from
"range anxiety". This is stress caused by worrying about the battery running out of
electricity. A StoreDot spokesperson said: "You're either afraid that you're going to get stuck
on the highway, or that you're going to need to sit in a charging station for two hours." The
new batteries would end this anxiety. A StoreDot spokesperson said: "We're at the point of
achieving a revolution in the electric vehicle charging experience". He said it means the switch
from petrol to electric cars will happen much faster.

A year we will never forget

For billions of people around the world, January the 1st, 2020 seemed like a great day.
It was the start of a year that sounded like science fiction - 2020. Many people had
great hopes for the year ahead. Few knew what rollercoaster ride 2020 would be and how the
world would change. The year has been dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has
brought hundreds of thousands of deaths, economic chaos, lockdowns and masked
populations. Another huge event was the death of George Floyd at the hands of U.S. police in
July. This sparked the Black Lives Matter movement and global protests. The year ended with
Joe Biden being voted in as the President-elect of the USA.

Different people will have different memories of 2020. Our reporters asked people
around the world to tell us what they will remember 2020 for. Ahmed Hussein from Lebanon
said he would never forget the massive explosion at a Beirut port in August that killed at least
190 people. He said he thanked God none of his family or friends were hurt, but was sad at the
destruction of his city. Lucy Baxter, a nurse in the UK, said her happiest moment came with
the news of the vaccines for COVID-19. She said she could see light at the end of a long and
dark tunnel. Ayumi Miyamoto of Japan was saddened by the postponement of the Tokyo
Olympics but is happy they will go ahead in 2021. She said 2021 would be a good year.
