Meet the animals of Antarctica and hear their real voices: the Weddell seal, orca, rockhopper penguin, albatross, leopard seal, humpback whale, Adélie penguin, Antarctic shag, crabeater seal, king penguin, elephant seal and snow petrel. • Listen – tap an animal to hear its voice and see a big photo. Every animal has three photos and three different sounds. • Guess the sound – listen to a sound and find the animal that makes it. • Find the pairs – turn over the cards and match the animals. • Where is it? – hear an animal's name and find it. Every animal's name and a short description are read aloud and shown in your language. Made for young children: big pictures, no reading needed and simple controls. The background music and the narrator's voice can be switched off, and links to our other apps are protected by a parental check. Everything is inside the app, so you can play without an internet connection.
