1 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to Music to our Ears, where we share some 2 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: interesting tidbits and stories related to our favorite Lingo Kids songs. 3 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: Hello again, last time you joined me at the top 4 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: of the Earth the North Pole to learn about two 5 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: wonderful Arctic animals. Today we're at the South Pole in Antarctica. 6 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: Like the North Pole, all I see is snow and ice, 7 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: but it's not exactly the same. The South Pole is 8 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: land surrounded by sea. It's covered with a lot of ice, 9 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: up to nine thousand feet thick that's about twenty seven 10 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: hundred meters. There are less problems with melting ice. Hew 11 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: Like the Arctic, it has lots of different types of seals. 12 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: It does not have polar bears. However, the South Pole 13 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: is home to one creature that is loved by almost everyone. 14 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: It's black and white and has a funny wobbly walk. 15 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: Do you know what it is? Yes, a penguin. There 16 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: are seven different penguin species in Antarctica. Some only live 17 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: down here for part of the year. One species that 18 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: stays all here is the largest penguin. It's called the 19 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: emperor penguin. Emperor penguins can be about as tall as 20 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: a six year old child. They are black and white 21 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: like the others, but have bright yellow and orange marks 22 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: around their heads and necks. During the winter, temperatures can 23 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: drop to fifty eight degrees fahrenheit below zero. That's negative 24 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: fifty degrees celsius birm. How do these seabirds stay warm 25 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: during the cold harsh winters. They have thick layers of 26 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: feathers that overlap like tiles on a roof, and blubber 27 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: under their skin to keep them warm. Plus lots and 28 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: lots of penguins gather in what's called a colony, up 29 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: to ten thousand penguins. It can get noisy. Unlike other penguins, 30 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: emperors don't lay their eggs in nests. The mama lays 31 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: one egg and the daddy penguin places it on his 32 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: webbed feet. Then he lowers himself down and sits on 33 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: it to keep warm. It's time for the mama penguin 34 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: to go find food. It can take her up to 35 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: two months. The daddy penguin does not move. He sits 36 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: on the egg and doesn't even eat until it hatches. 37 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: All goes well. Mama gets back just in time. When 38 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: she arrives, she uses her unique call to find her 39 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: family among the thousands of other penguins. When she finds them, 40 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: she feeds the baby, and then dad heads out to 41 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: sea to eat. These penguins really help each other survive. 42 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: Here's a lovable fact about these birds. When it's really 43 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: cold and windy, they huddle in a circle, with the 44 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: youngest in the middle. The adults take turns standing on 45 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: the outside, so everyone gets a chance to warm up. 46 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: That music to e is well, Then let's sing a 47 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: song about the coolest or coldest animals we love. Ready, 48 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: here we go. Look at the peng wind water on 49 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: the eyes. Water wado water lombi eyes.
