Summary
Your daily kids news podcast. Europe swelters in a heatwave; a boy unearths Viking treasure; T. Rex was a late bloomer; and a spider builds a catapult Europe is sweltering through a powerful heatwave, with temperatures soaring above 40°C in some places. A school rock hunt turned into a real-life treasure hunt when a six-year-old in Norway discovered a 1,200-year-old Viking sword. Scientists have documented a brand-new spider that catches ants using a tiny silk catapult! Scientists now think T. rex kept growing until it was around 40 years old. That's 15 years longer than they first believed. Imagine still getting taller long after you'd finished school! 🦖 For the full episode transcript, click here.
