Retrieving Species names using Ensembl transcript id using command line

For a particular gene, I retrieved all the orthologs from ensembl and I ended up getting the sequences. The problem is I am having the transcript IDs in the header. I want to know the species name for all these species. Since the number of sequences is very high (around 110 for each gene and I have a total of 5 genes) so doing it manually is not an option. Can someone please suggest some quick and efficient way of doing it. Thanks in advance!!
