Yooyyaa! Odeessaalee Afaan Inglizii sirri ta’an akka hubattuuf bakka itti si barsiifnutti  dhihaate caqasuuf baga nagaan dhufte! An Caaliidha.

Tom
And hello again everyone, I’m Tom. Good news for animal lovers! Today we are discussing penguins and asking the question ‘why do penguins waddle?’

Caalii
‘To waddle’ – gatantaruu, kun akkaataa itti adeemaniidha - yeroo baay’ee daa’immaniifi ijoollee waliinille ni fayyadamna.

Tom
Let’s listen to the first part of today’s clip! The reporter is in the zoo.

Caalii
Yaada gaarii! Dhiheessitutiin,waa’ee adeemsa gatantarurratti qorannoo yaalii saayinsaawaa ta’e hojjetame moora mooraa bineensotaa Landan, kutaa pengiyuunootaarra dabarsa jirti. Peengiyunoonni gosa allaatti kan fakkaataniifi miilla xixiqqoo kan qabaniidha. Akkaataa deemsa penguin ibsuuf jechoota kam fayyadamtii?

Presenter
With its tiny legs and stiff, upright posture a penguin has a waddle that's more than a little ungainly. But by installing a high-tech track in London Zoo, scientists will measure every tiny movement the birds make.

Tom
Did you hear that penguin? She mentions posture. 

Caalii
‘Posture’- jechuun akkaata ijaarsa qaamaati. Jicha kana yeroo baay’ee akkaataa ijaarsa qaama namaa ittiin ibsuuf fayyadamna. Akkaataan ijaarsa qaama pengiyuun, ‘stiff’ ‘kan hin dadachaane’ fi ‘upright’ ‘ol-sorooraa’ ykn ol-dhaabbataa akka ta’eetti ibsiti.

Tom
And she also describes the waddle as ‘ungainly’.

Caalii
‘Ungainly’, gatantaraa deemu.  Kana jechuun ‘awkward’ fi ‘clumsy’wajjin walfakkaata.

Tom
The presenter actually uses a phrase before ‘ungainly’. But, what is it? Listen again after ‘the penguin has a waddle’…

Insert
With its tiny legs and stiff, upright posture, a penguin has a waddle that's more than a little ungainly.

Caalii
‘More than a little’, asitti ‘quite’ jechuudha.

Dhiheessitutiin akka jettetti saayintistoonni sochiiwwan penguunotaa yeroo yerootiin hordofuun galmeessu. Daataa kanas kan yeroo darbe galmeessan waliin walbira qabanii ilaalu.

Tom
We can find stones or rocks with animal remains inside them. What’s the name for these? Let’s listen again!

Insert
But by installing a high-tech track in London Zoo, scientists will measure every tiny movement the birds make. The researchers will then compare this data with penguin fossils.

Tom
Aha! She said penguin fossils!

Caalii
‘A fossil’ - jechuun ambaadha. Asitti haa dhaabnumee. Peengiyunoonni ‘stiff, upright posture’ akka qabaniifi ‘tiny legs’ akkamii akka qaban dhageenyeerra. Peengiyunoonni jabanaa kanaa kanneen durii waliin walfakkaatu jettee yaaddaa? Adda baafachuuf caqasi!

Insert
The researchers will then compare this data with penguin fossils. They think that the ancient birds didn't waddle and had a more horizontal posture with different leg anatomy. The scientists suspect that as modern-day penguins became better adapted to swimming, they became more clumsy on land.

Tom
So, they aren’t the same!We’ve heard how modern penguins have an upright posture. Penguins in the past were the opposite! They had a horizontal posture.

Caalii
‘Horizontal’, jechuun dalga. Which means they were lying flat!

Tom
Right! Their legs have probably adapted over time as their posture changed.

Caalii
‘To adapt’ jechuun itti baruu jechuudha. Yeroo mara ijaarsa ‘adapt to’  jedhu [maqaa ykn gocha-ING] itti eda’uun fayyadamna. Hima isa dhumaa irradeebinee haacaqasnu. Pengiyunoonni maalitti baranii, ‘adapt to’ godhanii?

Insert
The scientists suspect that as modern-day penguins became better adapted to swimming, they became more clumsy on land.

Tom
So, penguins adapted to swimming. This means the anatomy,or structure, of their legs changed to become more suitable for water.

Caalii
And that’s why they’re ‘clumsy’, laamsha’oo jechuudha.

Tom
Exactly! So, have you adapted to presenting Listen Here yet?

Caalii
I think I’ve adapted by now! And we hope your ears are adapting to our show!
