Start Their AdventureAustin loves exploring nature, is curious about wildlife, and cares deeply for animals- especially watching how they live and interact.
Austin's current favorite animal is the pangolin because they're "rare, endangered, and need our help". He is fascinated by their defense mechanism of becoming a ball, and believes they are gentle in nature. He is drawn to their uniqueness, and curious about them because so little is known about them in the wild.
Austin enjoys hiking, swimming, bike riding, and what we call outside free play- being outside with the freedom to take his time to look under rocks, play in the dirt, climb trees, or collect sticks to built a fort.
