🌿 5 Summer Wildlife Challenges
Hedgehog
Gary's wild cousins are nocturnal in summer, travelling up to 2km each night. They eat beetles, slugs, and earthworms to build up energy.
✅
🤔 What does Gary eat?
✅ You got this one — well done!
Swift
Swifts arrive in the UK every May and leave by August. They sleep, eat, and even MATE while flying — they almost never land!
✅
🤔 When do swifts leave the UK?
✅ You got this one — well done!
Butterfly
Butterflies taste with their feet — they have taste sensors on their legs! They can also only fly when their body temperature is above 29°C, which is why you see them basking in the sun.
✅
🤔 How do butterflies taste food?
✅ You got this one — well done!
Fox
Fox cubs are born in spring and by summer they're learning to hunt. A fox family's home territory can be up to 40 football pitches wide!
✅
🤔 When are fox cubs born?
✅ You got this one — well done!
Bee
A honeybee visits up to 1,500 flowers to make just one teaspoon of honey. In summer a hive can have 60,000 bees!
✅
🤔 How many flowers to make one teaspoon of honey?
✅ You got this one — well done!
Gary's Summer Tip
Leave a small gap in your garden fence — hedgehogs need to roam up to 2km a night! A hole the size of a CD is perfect. You could even put out a shallow dish of water on hot days. 🌞
