Animate is a chain toy store in Hong Kong. Established in 1985, its stated mission is to provide a wide range of original, authentic toys from Japan to the population of Hong Kong.

For over 20 years, Animate has worked directly with most Japanese toy manufacturers l

In biology and physics, animal locomotion is the study of how animals move, and is part of biophysics. Much of the study is an application of Newton's third law of motion: if at rest, to move forwards an animal must push something backwards. Terrestrial animals must push the solid ground, swimming and flying animals must push against a fluid (either air or water). The topic splits into five disjoint categories: animal locomotion on land (walking and running) animal locomotion in air (bird flight) ...
