Hi Everyone.
I think that hammerhead sharks are pretty interesting looking creatures. Look at its T-shaped head! Like all sharks, the hammerhead is a predator and plays an important part in the ocean ecosystem and food chain.  They actually help the fish population stay strong and healthy by eating the fish that are sick or injured. That's why I decided to include the hammerhead shark in my song FASCINATING SHARKS.  It is one of my ocean animal songs for kids on the CD IF I WERE A FISH by Birdsong and the Eco-Wonders. My friend Ryan David does a great job rapping this song.

Click here to listen to the first couple of verses of FASCINATING SHARKS to learn some interesting things about this interesting-looking  fish. Do you want to write your own verse about sharks?  Please do! And send it to us. too. We'd love to read it. You can also watch our animal song videos about dolphins, gray whales, seals, sea lions and walruses.

If you'd like to learn more about hammerhead sharks (including the answers to the questions on the coloring page), check out: National Geographic Kids.

Enjoy!                                                                                                              -Birdsong 

"It's true that sharks have a powerful bite, but human beings are not their food type."  -from our animal song "Fascinating Sharks

Sorry if this is off topic but I’m thinking of buying this book. Curious if anyone’s has checked out the new book “Hell’s Aquarium” by Steve Alten? I know he’s been a best selling author before, but wanted to see if anyone had read this book first? It’s about the ancient prehistoric shark Megalodon, which makes the current Great White Shark look like a gold fish. Check out the trailer below, pretty awesome: http://www.variancepublishing.com/meg-hells-aquarium-contest.html

Interesting Facts and Photos about Sharks

Category: Animal Songs- Ocean

Published: Saturday, June 12, 2010

Whenever I write a new animal song for kids, I try to learn as much about the animal as I can. I first thought about writing a kids' song about sharks after visiting an aquarium and seeing these fascinating creatures up close. I could not fit all the things I learned about sharks into one song, so I have included a list of fun facts about sharks below, as well as some photos. Interesting Facts about the fascinating sharks: -There are about 350 different types of sharks, but researchers think there are other sharks that haven't been discovered yet! -The dwarf shark is as small as your hand, while the whale shark can be as large as a school bus! -A shark is one of the best hunters in the world. Even their little pups go out looking for food. -A shark's hunger can be satisfied with one good meal. The meal can last a long time because a shark uses little energy to swim. Some sharks hold food in their stomachs without it being digested. If they eat a big meal, it can last three or more months!

After all, the ocean is our home,”

Listen to our Little Pocket Mouse song-in-progress

Category: Animal Songs

Published: Saturday, April 10, 2010

I’m small and furry, watch me scurry! It's the middle of the night and I'm in a hurry To gather seeds I like to eat. And store those seeds inside my cheeks. I'm a little pocket mouse. And when the sun begins to rise, I find my tunnel and I crawl inside. And there I hide the food I found And rest all day 'til the sun goes down. I'm a little pocket mouse. CHORUS: Pocket mouse, oh where's your house? It's underground where I cannot be found. Oh no, no, no! (no, no) I'm a mouse who likes my privacy, So it came as a surprise to me To learn I was hero in the rodent family! It started in 1972 On a spaceship that went around moon. Of all the animals smart and strong Who did the astronauts take along? It was the Little Pocket Mouse! With lots of food in their big cheek pockets, Five little mice boarded that rocket Didn't know much about outer space, but they were glad to help the human race That little pocket mouse! CHORUS: Pocket mouse, oh where's your house? It's underground where I cannot be found. Oh no, no, no! (no, no) I'm a mouse who likes my privacy, So it came as a surprise to me To learn I was hero in the rodent family!
