Welcome to Music to our Ears,

0:07

where we share some interesting tidbits

0:09

and stories related to our favorite

0:12

Lingo Kids songs. Hello

0:16

again, last time you joined

0:18

me at the top of the Earth the North

0:20

Pole to learn about two wonderful

0:23

Arctic animals. Today

0:26

we're at the South Pole in Antarctica.

0:30

Like the North Pole, all I see

0:33

is snow and ice, but

0:35

it's not exactly the same. The

0:38

South Pole is land surrounded

0:40

by sea. It's covered

0:43

with a lot of ice, up

0:45

to nine thousand feet thick that's

0:47

about twenty seven hundred meters.

0:51

There are less problems with melting

0:53

ice. Hew Like the

0:55

Arctic, it has lots of different

0:57

types of seals. It does not

1:00

have polar bears. However,

1:03

the South Pole is home to one

1:05

creature that is loved by almost

1:07

everyone. It's black and

1:09

white and has a funny wobbly

1:12

walk. Do you know what it is? Yes,

1:16

a penguin. There

1:19

are seven different penguin species

1:21

in Antarctica. Some

1:23

only live down here for part of the year.

1:27

One species that stays all here

1:29

is the largest penguin. It's

1:31

called the emperor penguin.

1:36

Emperor penguins can be about

1:38

as tall as a six year old

1:40

child. They

1:42

are black and white like the others, but

1:45

have bright yellow and orange marks

1:47

around their heads and necks. During

1:51

the winter, temperatures can drop

1:53

to fifty eight degrees fahrenheit

1:55

below zero. That's negative

1:58

fifty degrees celsius birm.

2:02

How do these seabirds stay warm during

2:04

the cold harsh winters. They

2:07

have thick layers of feathers that overlap

2:10

like tiles on a roof, and

2:12

blubber under their skin to keep them

2:15

warm. Plus lots

2:17

and lots of penguins gather in what's

2:19

called a colony, up

2:21

to ten thousand penguins. It

2:24

can get noisy. Unlike

2:30

other penguins, emperors don't

2:32

lay their eggs in nests. The

2:34

mama lays one egg and the daddy

2:36

penguin places it on his webbed

2:39

feet. Then he

2:41

lowers himself down and

2:43

sits on it to keep warm.

2:47

It's time for the mama penguin to go

2:50

find food. It can take her

2:52

up to two months. The

2:56

daddy penguin does not move.

2:59

He sits on the egg and doesn't even

3:01

eat until it hatches. All

3:04

goes well. Mama gets back just

3:06

in time. When she arrives,

3:09

she uses her unique call to find

3:11

her family among the thousands

3:13

of other penguins. When

3:16

she finds them, she feeds the baby,

3:19

and then dad heads out to sea to

3:21

eat. These

3:24

penguins really help each other survive.

3:27

Here's a lovable fact about these

3:29

birds. When it's really

3:32

cold and windy, they huddle in

3:34

a circle, with the youngest in the middle.

3:37

The adults take turns standing on the

3:39

outside, so everyone gets

3:41

a chance to warm up. That music

3:44

to e is well,

3:46

Then let's sing a song about

3:49

the coolest or coldest

3:51

animals we love. Ready,

3:54

here we go. Look

4:08

at the peng wind water on the

4:10

eyes. Water wado water lombi

4:13

eyes. It's so nice. Look

4:16

at the seal, slide on the

4:18

eyes. Slide, slide, slide on

4:21

the eyes. So nice.

4:24

He goes the bowler ben. He

4:27

can swim, he can swim.

4:30

Here comes a polar bear. Swim

4:34

and swim, swim until the eyes so

4:38

nicyes penguin

4:47

says, Oh, it's nice to meet you.

4:50

Nice to meet you. Sitting on the eyes.

4:52

So nice. The seal

4:55

can wadle the polar back and wattle

4:58

water wado wad along the eyes. So

5:01

nice. Now we

5:03

5:07

5:09

eyes. Don't get the penguin

5:26

5:29

5:31

5:41

Now that was music to our ears.

5:44

We hope you like the song. You can

5:46

sing it all day long. What's

5:49
