lyrics

If we’re asked“Can you name any type of animal?”,
It’s unlikely we’d name non-mammalian species at all.
And yet less than half a percent of the world’s species
Are mammals, so how come we just think of these?

This has to do with something called the Bambi effect
Which says we tend to express more tenderness and respect
To an animal who’s cute with big eyes, which may be
Because they look a bit like a human baby.

But this show ain’t Bambi, it’s science communication,
And it’s time the animal kingdom had some de-Disneyfication,
So with six songs down, that’s it for the mammals,
Though we’ve skipped swine, porcupine, canines, cats and camels.

We’ll continue with the mammals’ closest living relatives,
Known collectively to scientists as the sauropsids.
These include all the reptiles, and of course,
The only living relics of the dinosaurs.

And one.
