Some teens are saying, “It’s not fair!” In South Carolina, 43 rhesus macaque monkeys made a daring escape from a research facility when a new employee forgot to latch a gate! The clever monkeys are hanging around nearby woods, enjoying their taste of freedom while workers try to lure them back with food! Australia’s Wallabies scored a stunning comeback against England, winning 42-37 in extra time! With help from new star Joseph Sua’alii, the team turned around a rough year and silenced the London crowd. Tonight’s Taurid meteor shower promises shooting stars before sunrise! Thousands of space particles from comet Encke will light up the sky in a dazzling show. Patience is key, though—you might see only five meteors per hour, but they’re extra bright, so make a wish!

In Kenya, farmers are using a surprising defence against elephants munching on their crops: bees! It turns out these giant animals are terrified of bee stings, and beehives keep them away from farms naturally. Scientists think they might have found a ninth planet in our solar system! It’s hiding way out in the icy Kuiper Belt, far beyond Neptune. They’re calling it “Planet Nine” for now. We’ll find out next year when new supertelescopes start looking way out there! With the U.S. election causing a storm of wild rumours online, it’s Newshounds to the rescue! Squiz-E reminds everyone to Stop, Think, and Check what they read, so we don’t fall for fake stories.

It’s election day in the U.S., and Americans are picking their next president! With six time zones in play, votes will trickle in all day. And the winner isn’t just decided by votes—there’s a system called the Electoral College that plays a big role Meet Pando, the world’s biggest tree—a forest of aspen trees sharing one root system! Scientists found Pando is a whopping 34,000 years old, dating back to the Ice Age! But climate and disease now threaten it. Let’s hope this incredible tree can keep growing strong. New fossil evidence shows a gigantic bird once ruled ancient South America—a 3-meter-tall “terror bird”! These flightless predators had sharp beaks perfect for hunting. But even they had enemies: one fossil shows it may have been chomped by a massive prehistoric crocodile! For the full episode transcript, click here.
