In this Issue of National Geographic Kids, discover what researchers learned about how momma tigers care for their cubs after they tracked one named Varvara in southern Russia. The scientists already knew that keeping cubs safe, healthy, and fed is a full-time job for a female tiger, and now they know more about how she does it. Next, head to Mexico where a once hidden chamber reveals gigantic, icicle-like crystals almost a thousand feet below the Earth's surface. Some of the crystals measure up to 33 feet tall! You'll also learn the tricks photographers use to make the foods in ads and cookbooks look mouthwatering. Hint: lipstick and cotton balls are involved. And finally, visit an ape academy in Indonesia where rescued baby orangutans learn rainforest survival skills.
