WEBVTT - About Elephants

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Music to our Ears, where we share some

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>interesting tidbits and stories related to our favorite Lingo Kids songs. Today,

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>we're visiting a very special place. It's not a zoo.

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.319
<v Speaker 1>It's an elephant sanctuary, a place where elephants that have

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>worked for humans can go to live peacefully and receive

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>proper care. The sanctuary cares for all types of elephants.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>The largest species in Africa is the African savannah elephant.

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>It has very wrinkly skin, curved tusks, two fingerlike tips

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>on its trunk, and large, triangular shaped ears. The second

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>type is the African forest elephant. It's much smaller that

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>has rounded ears, smoother skin, and straighter tusks than the

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>savannah elephant. Both species of African elephants can live up

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to seventy years in the wild. There are three types

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of Asian elephants that come from different areas of Asia.

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>They all have two bumps on their foreheads and only

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>one fingerl like tip on their trunk. These elephants can

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>live up to eighty years old in the wild. African

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>elephant families are usually a bit larger than the Asian elephant.

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what an adult female elephant is called

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>a cow. No, not that cow. The adult male elephant

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>is called a bull. And guess what young elephants are called.

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>That's right, calves. The Elephant Sanctuary takes good care of

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the elephants. They don't have to work. They can just

0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>be elephants. Elephants are very social creatures. They form lifelong

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:09.079
<v Speaker 1>friendships with one another and even other animals such as dogs.

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>We can sing about one elephant who has a very

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>special friend. How does that sound?

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Music es? Well, then let's sing a song about Cowie's elephant. Ready,

<v Speaker 2>Cowie has an elophant, an elephant, an elephant. Cowie has
