What does Brysen love most about nature?

I have always loved exploring nature and discovering different bugs, animals, sea creatures. I have been reading Ranger Rick magazines since I was 3, and they inspired my curiosity about the different species in nature I didn’t already know about. I like going on hikes in the woods because every where I look there’s going to be an animal, insect, or tree I want to learn more about. Trees are beautiful because they help us to survive, and they provide a home and camouflage many creatures need.


What is Brysen's favorite animal—and why?

Some of my favorite animals are the king cobra, bearded dragon, Komodo dragon, and whip scorpion. I love animals so much because they are all unique and they have different adaptations. I’m fascinated by the ant lion’s precision to flick sand at ants to make them slip into their trap. The octopus’ ability to change colors and fit into small spaces is amazing to me. We can also learn from animals, for example we copied birds when designing airplanes, which is called bio inspired technology.


What is Brysen's favorite outdoor activity?

My favorite outdoor activity in Rhode Island is to be at the beach and shoreline. I love to look under rocks for crabs, and try to catch minos and hermit crabs in the shallow water. My family vacations always involve traveling to different animal sanctuaries, aquariums, and Audubon centers. Discovery Cove in Florida is my favorite place to visit with my family because we get to swim with guitar fish, rays, and tropical fish. My dad and I even swam with sharks and dolphins.
