Sand Pyramids! A flawless replica of the real thing if you can't afford to see them yourself. A+ craftsmanship
In other news... something small. I just noticed that Animal Jam switched it's title from "Animal Jam: Adopt pets, play games, yadda yadda yadda..." to simply "Welcome to Animal Jam!"
I guess AJ is so far along in popularity right now that it doesn't even need a description. "Welcome to Animal Jam!" seems just right. ^^
Over on the Daily Explorer, have you been seeing the posts by Tierney Thys every Tuesday?

I don't know about you, but I love the educational aspect of Animal Jam. Unlike school, it doesn't force boring assignments on you based on memorizing basic textbook information. AJ does have opportunities to write essays and get them displayed on the Daily Explorer, but it's more about kids learning and being engaged the way they want without being forced to fulfill a pointless requirement.
I think the educational content on AJ is a really good starting point, too. I always see some interesting factoid in a Journey Book or game that I end up researching later. I don't know about you, but I think it's really great. ^^
On the topic of education, did you know that the amount of tigers in the wild has increased? In 2010, the worldwide estimate for the population was a mere 3,200. This year in 2016, however, that number increased to 3,890 wild tigers.
It doesn't sound like much, but if you put it in perspective this is nothing short of incredible. Ever since 1900, the official estimate has steadily decreased... up until now. That's an amazing milestone, and means that conservation efforts have been working. The battle isn't over, but right now it's going in the right direction!

That's all for now, see you in Jamaa! :D

Heyyo! I love it when you guys comment. I'm always checking for more, so even if you comment on an older post I'll definitely see it and try to respond. :)
Before you comment, of course, here are some basic things to remember:
-Don't be mean on purpose.
-Keep the comments appropriate for all ages. This is an Animal Jam blog.
-No spam, please! That means no comments just saying "buddy me im animaljam123" or "hi", just add a little more than that.
-Rants/long comments totally encouraged! You don't have to apologize for a long comment, I love reading them xD
-*NEW!* Please be safe about the personal information you share here, and on the internet in general. Just like AJ's in-game safety guidelines, don't share your real name, photos of yourself, phone number, address, email, or age. Always turn to a trusted adult if you're unsure about something.
Pretty easy rules. Nothing to stress about. As long as you follow them, you can say whatever you want!
