Hi, Kennedy. Anime is a style of animation from Japan. There are many different art and animation styles, with some looking closer to real life than others. Even anime can have different styles.

Wow! That sounds pretty interesting. I think it's cool that learning about one topic can make you curious to explore and learn about other topics too! What kinds of similarities and differences did you discover about resin and instrument rosin?

Certain animals hibernate to survive the chilly winter season when food is much harder to find. These critters use MUCH less energy while they hibernate. They live off of the fat in their bodies. For example, some species of bats can slow their heart rate down to only ten beat per minute! If that's hard to imagine, it might be because us humans CAN'T hibernate. Our bodies aren't built for it. 🦇

Hi, Logan! Experts often consider a marine mammal called the vaquita to be the rarest animal in the world. Vaquitas are a kind of porpoise. The animals swim in the Gulf of California.

Scientists say there are only TWO northern white rhinos left in the world!

It is true that President Donald Trump wants to shut down the U.S. Department of Education (ED). However, that is NOT the same thing as shutting down schools. The ED is a government group. It is part of the federal government. As of right now, Trump has not said that he wants to close schools themselves. You can learn more about what the ED does in the article "Closing the Education Department?"
