Speaker 1: Welcome to Music to our Ears, where we share some
Speaker 1: interesting tidbits and stories related to our favorite Lingo Kids songs. Today,
Speaker 1: we're visiting a very special place. It's not a zoo.
Speaker 1: It's an elephant sanctuary, a place where elephants that have
Speaker 1: worked for humans can go to live peacefully and receive
Speaker 1: proper care. The sanctuary cares for all types of elephants.
Speaker 1: The largest species in Africa is the African savannah elephant.
Speaker 1: It has very wrinkly skin, curved tusks, two fingerlike tips
Speaker 1: on its trunk, and large, triangular shaped ears. The second
Speaker 1: type is the African forest elephant. It's much smaller that
Speaker 1: has rounded ears, smoother skin, and straighter tusks than the
Speaker 1: savannah elephant. Both species of African elephants can live up
Speaker 1: to seventy years in the wild. There are three types
Speaker 1: of Asian elephants that come from different areas of Asia.
Speaker 1: They all have two bumps on their foreheads and only
Speaker 1: one fingerl like tip on their trunk. These elephants can
Speaker 1: live up to eighty years old in the wild. African
Speaker 1: elephant families are usually a bit larger than the Asian elephant.
Speaker 1: Do you know what an adult female elephant is called
Speaker 1: a cow. No, not that cow. The adult male elephant
Speaker 1: is called a bull. And guess what young elephants are called.
Speaker 1: That's right, calves. The Elephant Sanctuary takes good care of
Speaker 1: the elephants. They don't have to work. They can just
Speaker 1: be elephants. Elephants are very social creatures. They form lifelong
Speaker 1: friendships with one another and even other animals such as dogs.
Speaker 1: We can sing about one elephant who has a very
Speaker 1: special friend. How does that sound?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Music es? Well, then let's sing a song about Cowie's elephant. Ready,
Speaker 1: here we go.
