His favorite animal is a Komodo dragon because “the way they walk and use their tongue to taste the air makes them look like they are doing a funny dance.” Eli does a great Komodo dragon impression.
Eli’s favorite outdoor activity is camping with his family. He enjoys exploring new places and meeting new people along the way. Last year, he even created a YouTube video about his favorite camping trip, where he took part in a snake experience and learned about rattlesnakes at the annual Sinnemahoning Snake Hunt.
