World War 1, also known as the Great War, was a huge and really important war that happened from 1914 to 1918. It was a big deal because it changed the world in really big ways. The war started because lots of countries had problems with each other - things like arguments over land and power. The war was fought in different places, like Europe, Asia, and Africa. It was a really tough war, and people used new kinds of weapons like machine guns and tanks that made the fighting even more deadly. Many, many people lost their lives, and the places where the fighting happened were left damaged and destroyed. When the war finally ended in 1918, it was a relief, but the cost was really high. Millions of people had died, and many countries were in bad shape. Leaders from different countries got together to try and make a peace treaty, called the Treaty of Versailles, to prevent more fighting. But this treaty also caused more problems and led to future conflicts. World War 1 changed how societies worked and set the stage for a lot of things that happened in the 1900s. It created new countries, made people rethink how society should be, and showed how important it is for countries to work together to avoid such a big and devastating war. Learning about World War 1 helps us understand not just what happened, but also why it happened and how it affected the world. It teaches us that we need to find peaceful ways to solve problems between countries and avoid the terrible consequences of war.

From what red foxes eat and where they live, to when they breed and how long they can live for, in this video you will find lots of facts about the red fox.

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five extant species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. It occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa, in small parts of Western and Central Asia, on the Indian subcontinent to Southeast and East Asia. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and are declining in large parts of the global range. In Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, Syria, Libya, Tunisia and most likely in Morocco, leopard populations have already been extirpated. Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration. Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. Its fur is marked with rosettes. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but has a smaller, lighter physique, and its rosettes are generally smaller, more densely packed and without central spots. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers. The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour broad diet, strength, and its ability to adapt to a variety of habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas. It can run at speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour. The earliest known leopard fossils excavated in Europe are estimated 600,000 years old, dating to the late Early Pleistocene. Leopard fossils were also found in Japan.
