Hey Russ! My name is Vivienne and I'm doing an information text for school. And it's about qouka's! I'm having a hard time finding information about them. So, I was wondering if you could make a article about them. Sincerely,
Vivienne

Hi, Vivienne. I love quokkas! In fact, I saw some in real life when I visited Rottnest Island in Australia. There are a few stories about quokkas in News-O-Matic. But you must spell the word correctly in our search. It is QUOKKA.

Dear Russ, I have been reading your article on the naked rat mole I was just wondering, where do they burrow themselves? Your friend,

What does population growth mean?
Kannon

Great question, Kannon! A population is the number of people or animals living in a place. Population growth happens when a population increases over a period of time! Imagine a small town. Ten people live there. A year later, there are twenty people. That means the town has increased! This is called population growth! 📈

I see little brown birds in my yard and I'm wondering if it's a little curlew.
Harper

It's possible, Harper. Curlews have a long, thin curved bill. They also have a long neck and a small round head. Try taking a picture or writing a description of the birds the next time you see them. Write about their bodies, color, and actions. Then you can compare that bird to what you know about a curlew.
