A tiger is Mary Kelton’s favorite animal because it’s her school mascot and she admires its strength and fierceness. She loves that tigers are powerful and can outmatch most other animals. One of her favorite things to do is visit the tiger at the Nashville Zoo, where she watches it with awe and curiosity.
Mary Kelton’s favorite outdoor activity is exploring the creek, where she loves finding snakes, frogs, and salamanders.

Anything that involves animals and being outside is what she enjoys most—it’s where her curiosity and adventurous spirit shine.
