Gecko, give me a paw! I can go wherever I want. Do you want to know how I manage it? There are millions of tiny hairs on the pads of my feet. These produce tiny electrical attractions that help to attach me to any surface.

Work out where la Buse's treasure can be found In DiscoveryBox 148 you can read the true story of the pirate who gave away his treasure map. This is la Buse’s famous parchment, with instructions for finding his treasure:
It’s a coded message, and it comes with a key.
Of course, he wrote it in French, and a very old-fashioned French at that.
But even those of you who know French won't be able to read it.
This is the message in French:
APRE J ME A UNE PAIRE DE PIJON TIRE SKET

The message doesn't make any sense. To this day, treasure hunters are trying to work out what it means and so far no one has found the treasure!

Face to face with lions Did you like the amazing photos of the lions? Anup Shah, who took these photos in Kenya, gave us an extra one to show how he managed to get so close to these big cats. Look at this picture closely...
Did you work out what the trick was?
Anup hid the camera in a sort of fake stone. He left it on the ground as if it was just part of the landscape. Then he hid nearby to watch and click the shutter from a distance, safe from the lions's sharp claws and teeth!
