Not making loop

Java
1

This code is not making loop. Upon getting wrong answer, it is not going back to question. Help is appreciated.

package packageMCQ;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub

	
	
	String correctAnswer = "beaver";
	Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
	String answer = "";
	
	while (true) {
		System.out.println("What is the national animal of Canada?");
		answer = scanner.next();
		if (answer.equals(correctAnswer.toLowerCase()))
			System.out.println("You are right");
		else
			System.out.println("Try again");
		break;
		
	}
}
		
}

because if your guess is incorrect you break out. break should follow ‘You are right’

if (answer.equals(correctAnswer.toLowerCase())){
	System.out.println("You are right");
    break;
}
else{
	System.out.println("Try again");
}

Thankyou. It’s working now. The only thing is
answer.equals(correctAnswer.toLowerCase())
was not working. So I had to add a lion. Now the code is:

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

	String correctAnswer = "beaver";
	Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
	String answer = "";
	
	while (true) {
		System.out.print("What is the national animal of Canada? ");
		answer = scanner.next();
                   String answer1 = answer.toLowerCase();      *****This line was added
                   if (answer1.equals(correctAnswer)) {
			System.out.println("You are right");
		break;
		}
		System.out.println("Try again");
}
}

}
