Tinga Tinga Tales - Why Woodpecker Pecks

Why do Zebra have stripes and Leopard spots, Rhinos horns and Camels humps? Tinga Tinga Tales tells a modern, young audience what really happened. There was a time when Woodpecker didn't peck. All the birds had their very own sound, but Woodpecker didn't make a sound at all. Then one very dark night in Tinga Tinga, the Moon and the Stars disappear! The animals summon the birds to tell Lion, but Woodpecker can't pass the message on! Distraught, Woodpecker flies up to the skies, but where are the stars? And where is the Moon? In desperation Woodpecker pecks at the dark sky, and a star comes back, then another, then another! Everyone is delighted, no beast more than Woodpecker who now has her very own special sound - pecking.
