What does Austin love most about nature?

The animals that live in nature. He loves how there are so many different types of animals/insects, and how each critter has its own way of adapting in nature. For example, he likes how spiders protect themselves. Ie: tarantulas can shoot out their little hairs.


What is Austin's favorite animal—and why?

Elephant. He is fascinated by their size and strength. He thinks that it’s really neat how an animal so big can be so gentle with its trunk. He also thinks their tusks are really cool.


What is Austin's favorite outdoor activity?

Fishing. The reason he enjoys fishing is because it is not only about catching fish. Fishing brings you to so many cool places like when he fished in Alaska. You see moose and bears. There is mountains and so many cool plants. In Florida you see sharks, and alligators and tons of different birds. Fishing is exploring
