Ava's favorite animal is a Ring Tailed Lemur, she is intrigued with their tail pattern and how they utilize their tail for balance and signaling to other members of their troop. A close second animal she likes is a Capybara, as she currently is caring for 2 guinea pigs and they closely relate to the Capybara
