00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to Music to our Ears, where we share some

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: interesting tidbits and stories related to our favorite Lingo Kids songs. Today,

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: we're exploring a very cold place where there is snow

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: and ice as far as we can see. And he

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: guesses where that is. It's at the tippy tippy top

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: of the Earth, the North Pole. Under all of this

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: ice and snow is the Arctic Ocean. There is no land.

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: We're floating on ice. The ice is three to ten

9
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: feet or one meter to three meters thick. The Arctic

10
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: is home to lots of marine animals. There are six

11
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: kinds of seals. One of my favorites is the harp seal.

12
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Here on the ice, Alma seals take care of their babies.

13
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: We call them pups. Harp Seal pups are born with

14
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: long white fur. It helps them stay warm while they're

15
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: getting their fat or blubber. Harp Seals grow up to

16
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: six feet long that's one point eight meters. They can

17
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: weigh up to three hundred pounds or one hundred and

18
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: thirty six kilograms. Whoa who at any size. Seals are

19
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: built to swim. Their front legs are flippers and their

20
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: back legs act like a tail. Their rounded bodies allow

21
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: them to move swiftly through the icy waters. They can

22
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: swim on their backs or their bellies. When the ice

23
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: melts in the warmer weather, seals have fewer places to

24
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: live and have their pups. It's also harder to escape

25
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: animals that want to eat them. You know what animal

26
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: likes to hunt seals? Polar bears. A male polar bear

27
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: can stand nearly ten feet tall or about three meters

28
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: on its hind legs, and can weigh up to fifteen

29
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: hundred pounds or seven hundred kilograms. Their fur looks white,

30
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: helping them blend into the snowy surroundings so they can

31
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: sneak up on their next meal. But underneath that thick fur,

32
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: their skin is black. Polar Bears can swim still, they

33
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: need the ice to hunt for food. As temperatures go up,

34
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: polar bears must swim longer distances between the floating ice.

35
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: This can wear them out and make them too weak

36
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: to hunt. Oh no, I have good news too. There

37
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: are many people who love Arctic animals. They want to

38
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: help them and save the Arctic ice from melting so

39
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: these amazing animals can survive. N's music to I well,

40
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: then let's sing a song about Arctic animals. Ready, here

41
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: we go.

42
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,239
