What does Canaan love most about nature?

I like to learn about the ocean and the moon. Without the moon, rain wouldn’t exist and there wouldn’t be ocean water. The moon’s gravity pulls the water and makes tsunamis and the ocean water rise. Some ocean animals go with the water but crabs can stay in that spot. I like crabs too.


What is Canaan's favorite animal—and why?

I like snakes! Mine is an MBK named Severus and his belly looks like a rainbow! He could eat other snakes even venomous snakes! They don’t get sick from venomous snake bites. Hognoses are cute, too. Their noses look like pig snouts and good for digging. They are kind of venomous but more like a bee sting. Not dangerous for a lot of people.


What is Canaan's favorite outdoor activity?

I love collecting rocks and moss for my collections and the moss garden in my room. I usually pick up special ones that are different colors and materials, like jade. Even sea shells are made for different animals. I think they’re made differently too. My family is going to Hawaii and I’m pretty sure I can find igneous rock! I even have a few hermit crab shells.
