Martin here, welcome to Newsround.

Coming up in the next few minutes.

The pussy cats that

are anything but cuddly!

And a flying machine

with a difference

Now, some of us love cats and?if

you've got one for a pet

you probably think you know quite

a bit about them.

They love treats, hate water

and enjoy the occasional cuddle.

Right?? Wrong!

Get ready to see some remarkable

moggies that do things

a wee bit differently.

Anyone fancy a spot of fishing?

This fellow certainly does.

This is the fishing cat and it's

designed to hunt in water.

It has a short layer

of waterproof fur beneath it

and an insulating outer layer,

kind of like a wet suit.

They have webbed feet and long

whiskers so they can

detect vibrations of fish

beneath the surface.

This unique feline was

filmed in Bangladesh.

This cat is a master

at hide and seek and likes

to keep a low profile.

It's famously secretive.

The Pallas cat lives in the remote

grasslands of Mongolia.

It's never been filmed

in the wild until now.

This sneaky little thing they do

is called periscoping.

They have extremely good

vision so they peek over

rocks to catch their prey

and remain unseen.

No, it's not a pet!

Trust me, guys, this black-footed

cat may look cute however

looks can be deceiving.

At night they come out to hunt

and anything that moves

is a potential meal.

When it comes to catching

their prey, black-footed cats

have a 60% success rate.

Primed like a spring, she can

deliver maximum power to jump.

Making them the best hunters out

of the entire cat family.

And you can catch all of those

kitties on Big Cats,

tonight on BBC One at 8pm.

Now if you wanted to buy

the Queen a present,

what would you get her?

Well, some people have come up

with some pretty unique ideas.

Check this out!

Glitter balls for the Royal

Christmas tree and a purple fleece

dog bed were some of the presents

given to the Queen last year.

An official list of gifts received

by the Royal family in 2017 showed

the monarch was also given

a decorated ostrich egg

as a 91st birthday present

from the Kenyan president.

And British astronaut

Tim Peake, who became

the first Briton to be part

of the International Space Station

crew, gave the Queen the Union Flag

from his space suit.

Now that's cool!

Prince George and Princess Charlotte

got their fair share of presents,

including 17 soft toys,

three toy trains, a toy pram,

three dresses, two pairs of socks

and a dream catcher.

Not bad, eh?

Say hello to Meghan, everyone.

She's just been born

at London Zoo and has been named

after Meghan Markle,

Prince Harry's future wife.

Megan is an okapi.

The animal comes from the same

family of animals as giraffes,

but it looks very similar

to a zebra to me.

I don't know!

Now, how about bathtime

with a difference?

Take a look a this.

Bathtubs are just

for bathing, right?

Wrong.

People have been known to race them,

some more successfully than others.

Oh, dear.

Now these brothers have made

themselves a flying bath tub.

Wait, what?

Yes, you heard me right, they've

built themselves a flying bath tub!

It uses the same technologies that

drones use to get airborne

but obviously the propellers

are a wee bit bigger

to get this monstrosity

off the ground.

How long does it take

to build a flying bath tub?

Two weeks, apparently.

Not bad when you consider it took

mankind thousands of years

to build the first plane.

The German government approved

the project but they banned them

from going any higher than 30 metres

in the air.

It's unlikely they will be replacing

planes any time soon.

Shame!

We'll be back tomorrow morning at

around 7:15am.

Thanks for watching.

Enjoy the rest of your afternoon,

goodbye.
