WEBVTT - South Pole Animals

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Music to our Ears, where we share some

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>interesting tidbits and stories related to our favorite Lingo Kids songs.

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Hello again, last time you joined me at the top

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 1>of the Earth the North Pole to learn about two

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>wonderful Arctic animals. Today we're at the South Pole in Antarctica.

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Like the North Pole, all I see is snow and ice,

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>but it's not exactly the same. The South Pole is

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:44.600
<v Speaker 1>land surrounded by sea. It's covered with a lot of ice,

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>up to nine thousand feet thick that's about twenty seven

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred meters. There are less problems with melting ice. Hew

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Like the Arctic, it has lots of different types of seals.

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>It does not have polar bears. However, the South Pole

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>is home to one creature that is loved by almost everyone.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>It's black and white and has a funny wobbly walk.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what it is? Yes, a penguin. There

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>are seven different penguin species in Antarctica. Some only live

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>down here for part of the year. One species that

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>stays all here is the largest penguin. It's called the

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>emperor penguin. Emperor penguins can be about as tall as

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a six year old child. They are black and white

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>like the others, but have bright yellow and orange marks

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>around their heads and necks. During the winter, temperatures can

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>drop to fifty eight degrees fahrenheit below zero. That's negative

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>fifty degrees celsius birm. How do these seabirds stay warm

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>during the cold harsh winters. They have thick layers of

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 1>feathers that overlap like tiles on a roof, and blubber

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>under their skin to keep them warm. Plus lots and

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>lots of penguins gather in what's called a colony, up

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>to ten thousand penguins. It can get noisy. Unlike other penguins,

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 1>emperors don't lay their eggs in nests. The mama lays

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>one egg and the daddy penguin places it on his

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>webbed feet. Then he lowers himself down and sits on

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>it to keep warm. It's time for the mama penguin

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to go find food. It can take her up to

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>two months. The daddy penguin does not move. He sits

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>on the egg and doesn't even eat until it hatches.

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:08.119
<v Speaker 1>All goes well. Mama gets back just in time. When

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>she arrives, she uses her unique call to find her

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>family among the thousands of other penguins. When she finds them,

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 1>she feeds the baby, and then dad heads out to

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>sea to eat. These penguins really help each other survive.

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Here's a lovable fact about these birds. When it's really

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>cold and windy, they huddle in a circle, with the

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>youngest in the middle. The adults take turns standing on

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the outside, so everyone gets a chance to warm up.

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>That music to e is well, Then let's sing a

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>song about the coolest or coldest animals we love. Ready,
