Bless the Lord

I don't have a proper recording of these two pieces, but I thought you may find this information interesting.  Some of the animals are obvious, others are not so much.  Test at the end...scroll down :)

Badgers- burrowing carnivorous mammal; 2 ft. long with gray fur and black and white stripes on the head 
Hedgehogs- nocturnal insectivorous mammal, hair is mixed with prickles and spines; it can roll up in a ball
Squirrels- bushy-tailed rodent
Ferrets- semi-domesticated variety of polecat used for hunting rodents or rabbits
Foxes- wild carnivorous mammal of the dog family, smaller than wolves, having a pointed muzzle, erect ears, and a long, bushy tail.
Parakeets- a small parrot, with a tapering tail, native to Australia and Asia, and capable of mimicking
human speech, popular cage bird
Pelicans- large, fish-eating, web-footed, water bird, having a long flat bill with a
distensible pouch beneath, used for storing food
Porcupines- a rodent covered with sharp spines or quills, which the animal can use at will for his defense 
Penguins- flightless marine birds, confined mostly to the Antarctic and sub Antarctic, that have flipper like wings well-suited for swimming, and webbed feet on short legs that act as rudders.
Guillemots- any of the various birds of the auk family (narrow bill)
Guinea Pigs- short- eared, short-tailed rodent
Gallinules- moorhen, an aquatic bird, its head shield is similar to the coot’s
Godwits- wading birds related to snipes (long bill with slight upward curve)
Weasels- related to minks- carnivorous- reddish brown coat
Warthogs- African wild swine
Wallabies- small kangaroos
Wombats- Australian marsupials resembling small bears

TEST:  Is this animal a Guillemot, Godwit, Porcupine, or a Wombat?
 Find out the answer on Thursday morning!  HA HA :)

  1. None of the above. It's an Australian brushtail possum.
