Learn moreHe’s fascinated by the wild side of nature, especially extreme weather and how animals like bugs and snakes respond to it. Whether it’s tornadoes or thunderstorms, he’s always eager to understand what’s happening and why. Nature documentaries are his go-to, and he’s constantly soaking up new facts about the natural world.
Jackson said “My favorite animal is the fox. They’re really cute, and I like how smart and sneaky they are. They can live in all kinds of places, and I think that’s really cool.”
Jackson said “All of them are my favorite! I just love being outside. I like riding my bike, going for walks, exploring in the woods, and finding cool bugs and rocks. Even just playing in the yard is fun. Being outside makes me feel happy.”
