Haze loves how nature tells stories—how trees paint pictures, how every animal has a role. He lives and breathes the wild. From catching lizards at 2 to snakes at 3, to sharing and endless pool of interesting facts about animals and plants with anyone who’ll listen wherever he goes. He climbs, forages, explores, and sees the world through a wild, wonder-filled lens. Haze doesn’t just love nature—it’s who he is.
“How can I pick just one?! They’re all so unique and awesome in their own ways. Every feature is so interesting and just amazing” Haze sees every animal as a masterpiece—he studies them, respects them, and wants to protect them. His love isn’t just curiosity—it’s deep admiration and a drive to understand them all.
“Observing and catching wildlife. Looking and listening—using my knowledge about them to know where and how to find them. For example, if I’m out and I hear something walking through the underbrush with heavy steps, it’s most likely an armadillo.” It’s like second nature to him—he reads the wild like a story.
