        <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="green" stroke-width="4" fill="red" />
    </svg>
</body>
</html>

This example shows how to animate an SVG circle and apply CSS style.

When the circle is hovered over, a CSS transition causes its fill color to shift to blue.

The @keyframes rule named rotate is used to continually rotate the whole svg element when it is hovered.

This demonstrates how to use basic CSS animations to create dynamic and eye-catching SVG visuals.
