Antarctica is the coldest place in the world and it has the
worst weather. The lowest temperature on record is -89°C.
Antarctica is also the wettest and the driest place in the
world. How is this possible? It's the wettest place because
70 per cent of the world's fresh water is in Antarctica and 9
per cent of the world's ice. And it's the driest because in on

The most dangerous
animals in the world
What are the most dangerous animals in
the world? Sharks? Snakes? Lions? These
animals are very dangerous, it’s true, but
they are certainly not the most dangerous.
In cartoons, hippos are usually slow, happy and funny. But real
hippos are mean and aggressive, and are certainly more dangerous
lhan lions and tigers. Hippos are very heavy - some are about
3,000 kilograms. But they can run very fast and swim well, and
they don't like people. Hippos kill more people in Africa than any
other animal.
The animal with the most dangerous bite isn't a snake or a lion. It's
an insect and you can find it all over the world. Mosquitoes give
malaria to over 300 million people every year, and about three million
people die. Forty per cent of the world's population are always in
danger of malaria from mosquitoes. The mosquito is the world's most
dangerous animal - and it’s is also one of the smalJesi.
