Musical Whales

To attract a mate, bowhead whales have developed very sophisticated songs. They produce two different sounds that then get mixed together. They also change their songs from year to year, never repeating songs from past years. Talk about a whale of a love song!

  1. I randomly made a song of my own, think of what ever tune fits fro you cause mine is hard to describe. I hope you like it:

    People choose to be the destruction,
    we see inside the Earth….
    We choose to kill the animals,
    without thinking of their worth!

    And then a ray of light came in,
    and let us all begin
    to protect the world!
    Let the light shine in…..
    Through the windows, past the curtains, past the drapes!
    We have hung them ourselves!
    And it’s almost too late!

    WE ARE THE FUTURE,
    SAVING CREATURES FROM BEING DONE IN!
    So open the curtains and let the LIGHT shine in!

    Shine in…. shine in…….
