Everybody’s Talking Doodle art: A young, grade school student from Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, used to get into trouble for doodling at school. Joe Whale didn't mean any harm; he just likes to draw. His parents, Greg Whale and Vanessa Jameson, decided to do something positive with their son's skill and enrolled him in an art class. The teacher was amazed at his talent, posting some of his doodling pieces on social media. Soon, a restaurant owner called who wanted him to decorate a wall in the dining room. It's the boy's first commercial work, and his family has high hopes for his future. Sandy landscape: The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve in the United Arab Emirates is a national park that's home to plants, birds, reptiles, and mammals, including the Arabian oryx, sand cats, hedgehogs, and pygmy shrews. Visitors can book an adventure into the park, which might include going on a trek by camel, quad-bike riding, or sand boarding on the desert's dunes. The reserve is located 60km southeast of Dubai. Since temperatures soar in the summer months, it's best to go between November and March when it's usually around 27° C.

Flare for drama: A horse named Jingang, who shares a name with a town in China, has gained fame through social media postings showing his acting abilities. This smart steed has a unique way to avoid giving people rides. He lies down on the ground and refuses to get up until the would-be rider walks away. Not even a carrot or a sugar cube will lure him up! Apparently, Jingang does give people rides, but he plays this trick when he doesn't want to cooperate. Living simply: Daniel Price doesn't need much to live on. Originally from the state of Kentucky in USA, he now lives in the state of Oregon in a hillside dugout in the forest. He considers himself a “minimalist.” Many years ago, he left his job as a photojournalist to try to live as simply as possible. Before making his dugout, he lived in tents, a teepee, a hut and a shed. He has made his dugout comfortable with rugs and furnishings and he even has electricity. He pays only $100 a month in rent to the land's owner, and he has a self-imposed annual budget of $5,000 to pay for all his needs.

Welcome stop: The Sahara Desert in northern Africa has about 90 major oases with fresh water near the surface from the water table below. Oases are important stops for travellers as they can restock with water and food. Rock hounds: Mineralogists are scientists who study the Earth's minerals. Petrologists study the composition, texture and structure of rocks. Pink shell: Argentina is home to the pink fairy armadillo, also known as the pichiciego. It is the smallest armadillo in the world at only 15cm long. It gets its name from its pink bony armour shell. Warm versus cold: When an El Niño weather pattern occurs in the Pacific, the effect in North America is unusually warm temperatures in the winter. When it's a La Niña, the southeastern part of North America will be warmer and the Northwest will be cooler than normal. Circus laughs: Monty Python's Flying Circus was a 45-episode English sketch comedy show that ran from 1969 to 1974. Its six creators were Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin.
