Speaker 1: And I know the perfect game to play while we

Speaker 3: Hey friend? Do you want to play What's outside your window?
Speaker 4: With us?

Speaker 4: You can look outside, close your eyes imagine what you

Speaker 3: Okay, I'll go.
Speaker 2: Wow, I see an icy ocean and a school of
Speaker 2: shiny white whales.
Speaker 3: Playing in the waves. What do you see outside your window?
Speaker 3: And what sound does it make? Awesome?
Speaker 1: Hey, Mika, there's a red building ahead of us with
Speaker 1: a sign that says Eureka Arctic Research Station.
Speaker 3: And look, a man on skis in a big coat
Speaker 3: is waving at us. Let's say hi, hello.
Speaker 4: There you too.
Speaker 5: Color me surprised to see you. Don't get too many
Speaker 5: visitors up here in the Arctic, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's me Blippy and this is my best friend Mika.
Speaker 3: Nice to meet you.
Speaker 5: Well, I go by Mackenzie, and I'm up here at
Speaker 5: the Eureka Research Station to study Arctic wildlife.
Speaker 1: Wow, we're here to find out how cold weather animals
Speaker 1: stay warm.
Speaker 4: Ha ha, Well you came to the right place, eh, Mackenzie.
Speaker 2: While we were driving around in our Blippy snowmobile, we
Speaker 2: saw some whales that were white from their heads to
Speaker 2: their tails.
Speaker 4: Sure that'd be the beautiful beluga.
Speaker 5: The beluga whale is an Arctic mammal animals with warm
Speaker 5: blood that have adapted to living in this very cold climate.
Speaker 5: They have a thick layer of fat beneath their skin
Speaker 5: called blubber that traps in the heat.
Speaker 6: I bet their teeth are always chattering. Whales do make noises,
Speaker 6: but different from what you'd expect. In fact, if we
Speaker 6: use our listening ears and the wind is just right,
Speaker 6: you can hear a very special sound.
Speaker 4: Indeed, let's listen.
Speaker 1: Huh ooh, I think I hear something, but I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what it is.
Speaker 3: Hmm me neither. Hey, I know the perfect game we
Speaker 3: can play. What's that sound?
Speaker 4: Yeahha?
Speaker 1: Do you want to play?
Speaker 5: Two?
Speaker 1: Awesome?
Speaker 4: What's that sound? Follow your ears? What do you hear of?
Speaker 3: Plass?
Speaker 4: Or even a rock?
Speaker 3: Listen all around.
Speaker 4: For the sound to day.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's listen.
Speaker 5: There's sound everywhere if you listen closely, even up here
Speaker 5: at the top of the world. Check out this recording
Speaker 5: I made using underwater microphones.
Speaker 4: Those are singing bowhead whales. Whoa what are they singing about?
Speaker 5: No one knows for sure, but we think that whales
Speaker 5: sing to communicate with each other, sometimes to whales that
Speaker 5: are very far away. Also, it might be that whales
Speaker 5: like to sing just like we do eh.
Speaker 3: I loved to sing I'm a singing whale.
Speaker 1: Great job, Mika, I thought you were a real whale
Speaker 1: there for a second.
Speaker 4: Ha ha, me too.
Speaker 5: And did you know something else about bowhead whales? They
Speaker 5: live longer than any mammal on Earth two hundred years.
Speaker 5: That's a lot of birthday candles if you like, I'll
Speaker 5: grab my snowmobile and we can go look for more
Speaker 5: Arctic animals.
Speaker 4: I think you'll be surprised by what we find.
Speaker 3: By would we All right? Let's go.
Speaker 6: Snowmobile, snowmobile win nothing dust on the ice.
Speaker 3: Then the snowmobile skied through the snow.
Speaker 1: Let's take the wheel, no mobile on a frozen journey?
Speaker 3: Is this real snow?
Speaker 4: There's a huge bole of beir Wow. Look there's a
Speaker 4: hair and the ductive fuck. So can you hear the
Speaker 4: whale song too?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: I could hear the whale song too.
Speaker 1: Whoo sew mob snow moby ling out the past around
Speaker 1: the ice, stand snow holing out the past around the
Speaker 1: ice nd the snow mold.
Speaker 4: Look around, see any animals?
Speaker 3: All I see is snow?
Speaker 4: Whoa snow everywhere?
Speaker 3: Oh there's a no, no, never mind, that's just a tree.
Speaker 4: Branch. Look a little closer.
Speaker 3: Oh, wait, I do see something.
Speaker 2: It's a cute little bunny, but totally covered in white fur.
Speaker 4: Bingo, that's a snowshoe hair.
Speaker 5: She's keeping a close eye on the white Arctic fox
Speaker 5: sneaking around her den, and that white fur helps keep
Speaker 5: small animals safe from bigger animals like the polar bear.
Speaker 4: Speaking of look way off in the distance. There's a
Speaker 4: polar bear.
Speaker 3: So cool.
Speaker 2: I wish we could explore all day, but we should
Speaker 2: get back to the clubhouse.
Speaker 4: Sure thing. Oo, it seems my snowmobile won't start.
Speaker 2: Oh, I have an idea, Mackenzie, will use this rope
Speaker 2: to tie your snowmobile behind us.
Speaker 4: Hey, that's a great idea. Hang on time. Well that
Speaker 4: was quite a ride.
Speaker 3: Oh you said it.
Speaker 5: It's exciting to see these animals in their natural habitat,
Speaker 5: but it's also very important to give them space.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a lot of fun learning about Arctic animals.
Speaker 1: Thanks for showing us around.
Speaker 4: Ah, the pleasure was all mine. Stop by anytime.
Speaker 3: Bye bye, Cassie.
Speaker 2: We saw so many amazing things on our field trip
Speaker 2: to the Arctic.
Speaker 1: You're right, Mika, it's been so much fun learning new things.
Speaker 3: Today.
Speaker 1: What did we learn today?
Speaker 2: It's so cool?
Speaker 3: One?
Speaker 4: Two, three?
Speaker 3: Can you tell me?
Speaker 2: I learned that animals like the snowshoe hair and Arctic
Speaker 2: fox have all.
Speaker 3: My first so they can blend in with the snow
Speaker 3: and keep them safe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I learned that animals who live in really
Speaker 1: cold weather have a layer of fat called blubber that
Speaker 1: helps keep them warm. But Debo should probably just get
Speaker 1: a coat and mittens.
Speaker 2: And don't forget about bowhead whales who say to you,
Speaker 2: O kate with other whales and can live up to
Speaker 2: two hundred years or longer.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I liked it all so much. Wait, I
Speaker 3: have an idea. Let's have another road trip real soon.
Speaker 1: Great idea, Mica, and you're invited to Bye bye bye.
Speaker 4: Jump in the flippy mobiles.
