Leo loves to draw superheroes. So, he keeps wondering every day: "How can I make real comic books?" Every day, he practices drawing cool characters and writing exciting action stories.

Yesterday, Leo went to his bedroom to practice. He opened his desk drawer to look for his special drawing notebook. But the drawer was completely empty! His notebook was gone. Leo felt very sad and worried. "Oh no!" he yelled.

He ran into the kitchen to find his little sister, Maya. Leo pointed at the marker and said: "I know you have my notebook, Maya." Maya smiled and gave the notebook back to her brother.

After coming up with the idea, Ben and I spent six years planning the trip. We had to save up for the boat and prepare ourselves. A lot of people told us how tough it would be.

Most of the physical training was done in the gym. I cycled to work every day, then I would do two hours in the gym. But that was the fun bit, just eating mounds of food!

We left at dawn. It was a beautiful morning and the sun was coming up as we rowed out of the tiny marina. It took us about ten minutes to reach the open sea.

Distribution: Snakes live in warm parts of the world, including the sea, in all habitats. They are found on every continent except Antarctica.

Prey: A snake can track its prey using its long, forked tongue, which it flicks over the ground. It picks up the smell left by small animals like mice and voles. Some snakes, such as grass snakes, catch their prey by grabbing and swallowing it whole. Others, such as pythons, coil their bodies around their prey and squeeze it, making it impossible for the animal to breathe.

Attack: Poisonous snakes attack their prey with their fangs. The poison glands are in the snake's jaw and, as they bite their prey, the poison is injected into its nervous system. Only a third of all the snakes in the world are poisonous.

The black mamba is the fastest snake. It can travel around 15km/hour in short bursts.
