It's a really cool way to learn your ABC's and these guys are demonstrating each one of the alphabets from A to Z. George Gorilla, Henry Hippo and friends will see you there. Oh yeah, remember to subscribe to the channel and share it with your friends.
Alpha's ABC's Games eBook edition is now available at Amazon! This eBook is exactly the same as the very first physical book released in 2007. Inside there is a different animal character to represent each letter of the alphabet. These are all color pages and the really cool bonus inside the book is the brief description of each animal in both Spanish & English language. Children absolutely love this material as seen in the library video at our youtube channel. Here's the link to the eBook: http://www.amazon.com/Alphas-ABCs-Games-ebook/dp/B001AA1D82
Hey Boys and Girls!! Today's Featured Character is: "Takoda Toucan"
You probably already know that toucans have big bills. As a matter of
fact, they have larger bills, in proportion to the size of their body,
than any other birds. Here are some interesting facts about toucans'
bills - and their other physical attributes.
An average full-grown toucan weighs less than a pound -
about 14 ounces or 400 grams. Full grown toucans are slightly less than
two-feet long. From top to tail they are about 20 inches.
Studies suggest that a toucan's bill is so large because it helps to keep the bird cool in the warm climates where it lives.
Toucans are unable to sweat, which is why they need their bills for air conditioning.
Toucans' bills are not solid. Instead, their structure is similar to a honeycomb, making the bills extremely light.
Because toucans' bills are so light in weight, they are pretty
useless for anything other than cooling. They can't be used for digging
or fighting.
The bill does, however, allow them to sit in one spot and reach
for food, which is a good thing since toucans don't like to move around
much.
Toucans also can use their bills for camouflage.
Toucans' bills average about 8 inches in length.
Toucans make use of length of their bills by digging into holes in trees and logs to grab prey.
Baby toucans are not born with large beaks; it takes several months for their beaks to reach full size.
Toucans have four claws: two on the front and two on the back, which allow them to cling to branches and balance on trees.
Yeah, it's a little early yet to be discussing this but, we are really excited about our new alphabet video scheduled for release around the second week of October this year!
