The way animals move with purpose, how trees whisper in the wind, and how every creature, from ants to eagles, plays a role in Earth’s balance. He’s fascinated by the hidden systems in ecosystems and could spend hours observing animals in their natural habitats. To him, nature is a living classroom, full of wonder, mystery, and endless discovery.
Liel’s favorite animal is the lion. He admires their strength, agility, and fearless presence. To him, lions are true leaders, confident, protective, and powerful. As kings of the savannah, they represent courage and honor, and he’s inspired by the way they move with purpose and command respect in the wild.
Liel’s favorite outdoor activity is exploring creeks. He loves the thrill of discovering hidden paths, watching small fish swim, flipping rocks to find tiny critters, and feeling the cool water rush over his hands. It’s an adventure every time full of mystery, movement, and life. Exploring creeks helps him feel connected to nature and sparks his curiosity about the world around him.
