WHAT IT’S ABOUT? The Croods are back and this time they need a new place to live. So, the first prehistoric family sets off into the world in search of a safer place to call home. When they discover an idyllic walled-in paradise that meets all their needs, they think their problems are solved … except for one thing. Another family already lives there: the Bettermans.

I’ve wanted to go on The Voice ever since I was little.

Have you ever played a karaoke game? They’re great fun. You follow along to music you know and love from the radio, but then star as the singer! The microphone in your hand - or you can use your phone with the Let’s Sing Mic app - picks up the efforts of your vocal cords. The game then scores you points based on your timing, tone and how long you can hold the right notes. The game even gives you feedback to help you improve! There’s a range of solo and multiplayer modes to dive into, with the latter enabling up to eight people to play at once. This includes the new Legend mode where you battle it out against “baddies” or complete challenges to make it through a campaign.…

Armadillos have four babies at a time and they’re always just a set of boys or girls – the group of bubs is never mixed. Butterflies have taste buds on their feet. This helps the female find out which leaves will make the best food for her babies. Camels have three eyelids to protect their eyes from sand. Dolphins sleep with one eye open. Elephants can’t jump. Considering their large size, it makes sense. No jump rope for them! Flamingos can only eat when their heads are upside down because they use their beaks in an upside down manner. Giraffes have no vocal chords and they can clean their ears with their tongues. Honeybees’ wings flutter 11,400 times per minute… that’s what makes their buzzing sound! Iguanas can stay underwater…

SOCIAL CELEBS HARRY STYES Singer, Harry Styles is a super-celeb, so it’s not surprising to find out he keeps his social media use to a minimum and doesn’t get too attached to the apps.“On a personal level, I feel a noticeable change in how happy I am when I’m not on social media,” he says. “Someone once described it to me like a house party, where there are three people who are great and 23 people who aren’t that nice. You just wouldn’t go to that party would you? That kind of summarises my feelings about social media. I dip in. I see the friends I want to see and I dip out.” Pretty clever, Harry! @harrystyles WWW.ITGIRL-TECHHEAD.COM.AU OMG! The low-down on text talk Top 5 Apps To Download TANGLE…

There’s something strangely addictive about life simulation games. From The Sims to Nintendogs, the simple tasks in life become strangely addictive when you can level-up. The My Universe series is one such experience. It puts you in the shoes of an individual with an important role to play in the community. And it’s up to you to perform your duties, customise your world and see what it’s like to live that life. There are five games in the My Universe series , available on PlayStation 4, PC and Nintendo Switch. Perhaps our favourite is Fashion Boutique, where you manage your own clothes store. You’re faced with minigames that are based around many of the tasks you would be involved in if you managed a real store. For example, you’ll need…
