Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

I don't know about you, but us Aniimals love listening to music. And Singing-Along. When flying on a airplane, your neighbor might be taking a nap. So how do we continue jamming away? Easy... with something called "Headphones." There are 2 types of headphones we like to wear. 1 set of headphones has a band that goes over the top of the head, to secure the speakers. The other kind are known as "Earphones" becasue they sit inside the ear canal. Zina's Zanious Band members often uses a "Headset." Those are headphones that comes with a microphone. We can watch, dance, and listen, to Aniimal Town Sing-A-Long DVD. Don't forget "Music" is not complete without "U & I!"

Thanks-A-Zillion!

All Aboard!

Trains are a group of moving vehicles that travel on tracks; in or under the ground. Train tracks are known as a "Railroad." Tough steel are what railroads are made of. It takes many engineers, to make sure this transportation glides smoothly on the tracks. This type of rail transport is powered by individual motors or by one

Locomotive." [low-kuh-moe-tiv]

That word means "a train's engine." The driver of these connected cars, is entitled as the "Conductor." Boxcab & Caboose are other names for a train. You can be the conductor, and drive the Aniimal Town train of imagination!

Thanks-A-Zillion!

Finders Keepers

"Finders Keepers.

Zoo Dirt Leapers!"

Well, maybe that's not how the saying goes. But it will do for us! Arr The Pirate and his crew always seeking to find treasures. Someone who goes and looks for old objects or treasures are called an "Archaeologist." [Arr-kee-ol-uh-jist] Their job is to study people who existed on our planet, a long time ago. There's treasure where you least expect it. Even with words! 

For instance: Aniimal Town Word Search 

.gathers some cool words for you to find. And just like that, you're now a Word Archaeologist But remember. Aniimal Town is happy we've found YOU. 

 Thanks-A-Zillion! 

 

Land Meets Water

A continent is All the landmasses on Earth.

An ocean is the All regions of water on our planet.   

There are 7 CONTINENTS:
North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica.

There are 5 OCEANS:

Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean, Artic Ocean, and Indian Ocean.

According to certain world records, a few people have been able to travel the globe. Someone who goes on a quest around the world is called an "Explorer." Let's grab our compass and explore our Dreams and Adventures!

Ex-Squid-Zit Ink

In the ocean, there are fish that can make Ink. Whenever they feel nervous, or afraid, those fish begin to dispense a dark & cloudy liquid. Fishermen are known to call them "Ink Fish." But the proper name for fish who produces Ink, are called "Cephalopod." [Sef- uh- luh- pod] The Octopus, and The Cuttlefish are a part of the same family. Guess who's also part of their family? Squids! Fish Ink is very popular in Italy and Spain. The Ink is used in many delicious meals, or even as food coloring. Cuttlefish are able to make a brown/reddish Ink called "Sepia." [See- pee- uh] Whether it be an Octopus, Cuttlefish, or Squid, they're exquisite. Wait... They're Ex-Squid-Zit!

       Thanks-A-Zillion!       

I C U and U C ME!

Before mirrors were modernized, people used very shiny brass or bronze metal to see their reflection. Another way people often use to captured their reflection, was with water and anything that produced dark coloring. Mirrors are made with the most purest/cleanest glass. Gold leaf, aluminum, silvery metal, or copper, are usually placed in the back of the glass. To make sure the glass and the backing sticks together, two or three coats of paint are added-on to the backing. Then the glass is heated at a really hot temperature. With the help of a mirror, a few artists use the reflection they see of themselves. That's how they can draw a "Self-portrait." I guess that's the reason why mirrors used to be called a "Looking Glass." 

"Mirror Mirror on the wall. Who's the coolest towner of all?"
