Antarctica is the coldest place in the world and it has the

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.

When people think of dangerous animals in the sea. they usually


think of sharks. But sharks hardly ever kill people. The mosl
dangerous sea animal isn’t very big. It's a small jellyfish. The body
of the box jellyfish is aboul 20 centimetres long. But it has got
about 60 tentacles - and they are aboul three metres long. One of
these tentacles can kill a human very quickly. Box jeliylish swim in
(he seas around Australia from October to April When (he jellyfish
are there, nobody goes swimming.

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.

a cro ss the En glish Channel! How did she do it? Sam

'Where do you want to go?’ laughs Hilary Lister. We are on a


boat going out of Portsmouth Harbour, and Hilary is sailing ¡t.
Suddenly she's happy and free. Sailing does that to her. 'It’s given
me my life again,' she says.
Hilary is now paralysed because o f a rare illness, but she
hasn’t alw ays been like this. When she was a child she was
always active, and she played a lot o f sports. But when she
was 11, her legs started to hurt. By the tim e she was 15. she
couldn’t walk any more.
About six years ago she couldn’t use her arms or hands
any more. She thought her life was over. Then, tw o years
ago, a friend took her sailing for the first time. She loved it!
But she didn’t want to be a passenger. She wanted to sail a
boat herself. ‘I had this mad dream to sail across the English
Channel,’ she said.
Hilary didn’t know anything about boats or sailing.
But she started to design her own boat. Then she
found a boat and some people to help her.
? The controls o f her boat came from her
wheelchair and she can control the boat
with her mouth. She has had some lessons,
and she is now a very good sailor.
Last month Hilary’s dream came true. She
left Dover alone in her boat. It was sunny
but quite windy. Six hours later she arrived in
Calais, France. She was very, very tired, but
very happy. It was the longest journey made
by a completely paralysed person. And she has
become the first disabled person to sail across the
Channel.
Hilary says the experience has really changed her
life. 'Next I want to sail around Britain,’ she says.
