CHORUS LYRICS HERE

Different animals tiny and big

We must protect them

Change our tune before they go extinct

Build an animal sanctuary x5

LYRICS HERE:

Group #1:

In the savanna we can save the Cheetahs

In the ice and snow where polar bears go

Hippos need the water so they can stay cool

Pandas getting hungry eating bamboo

Group #2:

Humanity is taking over the manatees

Don’t Hurdle the turtles

Pollution is not the only solution

Don’t eat the meat. Don’t eat the meat……

—

We have as many animals to feed as we need

Group #3

Animal Sanctuary

It’s not just a home

Bears dogs cheetahs and snakes

It’s a place where animals go

Group #4:

We need to stop pollution. We need to stop pollution.

Animals are dying every day

but, we need to save them

At the end of day we need to build a sanctuary

—

Build an animal sanctuary

Different animals tiny and bi

We love them equally

Never trust tigers

Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth

After magnifying the beauty of unseen organisms in Tiny Creatures, Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton turn their talents to the vast variety of life on Earth.

The more we study the world around us, the more living things we discover every day. The planet is full of millions of species of plants, birds, animals, and microbes, and every single one — including us — is part of a big, beautiful, complicated pattern. When humans interfere with parts of the pattern, by polluting the air and oceans, taking too much from the sea, and cutting down too many forests, animals and plants begin to disappear. What sort of world would it be if it went from having many types of living things to having just one? In a beautiful follow-up, the creators of the award-winning Tiny Creatures: The World of Microbes deliver an inspiring look at the extraordinary diversity of Earth’s inhabitants — and the importance of their preservation.
