This week we're talking about things brothers Eddie and Jacob like to catch outdoors.
Yesterday we talked about bugs and today we're exploring turtles.
Do you think that all turtle music is slow? Listen to what our co-hosts (and real-life brothers) Jacob and Eddie have to say.
"I have two turtles at home," says Eddie. "They eat so, so violently. I'd make the music thumping, and kind of stomping or crunching."
Today's feature music is called "Mock turtles" by English composer Angela Morley.
"Mock," as in pretend. (There’s actually no such thing as a real mock turtle.) But it IS a character in the "Alice in Wonderland" story by Lewis Carroll.
The character has the shell of a sea turtle and the head and feet of a cow. And he mopes around because he misses his days when he was a real turtle at sea school.

It's time to test your ears. Each week we have a mystery melody that we have to figure out together. It relates to our topic. (We'll make the melody less mysterious each day.)
If you know the mystery melody, text your name and the title and we’ll give you a shout out on Friday. The number to text is (833) 490-4718.
Thank you, Kodak Quartet, for recording this week's mystery melody for us!
