But most of the animals just let me be… • ALL: what’s my animal identity? • Orca Whale solo: I’ve got sharp teeth and a dorsal fin. A layer of blubber lies beneath my skin. A black and white mammal swimmin’ in the sea. • ALL: what’s my animal identity?

A bid of my feather won’t live in a tree. • ALL: what’s my animal identity? • Platypus solo: I’ve got webbed feet and a beaver tail. I hatched from an egg, but I’ve got fur as well. There’s also my duck bill. I’m a sight to see. • ALL: what’s my animal identity?
