His favorite animal is the red-shouldered hawk because of its distinctive colors and powerful presence as a bird of prey. Its sharp calls and striking patterns make it stand out in the wild, and watching it soar or hunt is always impressive.
Jayden’s favorite outdoor activity is camping, especially when it includes fishing and spotting snakes. He loves being surrounded by nature, spending time near the water with a fishing rod, and exploring trails or creek beds looking for reptiles and bugs. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and calm.
