She loves the moment we spot wildlife. She says it feels real not like tv. The closer the animal, the better she loves going to the springs to swim with turtles and see manatees. She loves packing her hiking backpack for the trail, and she absolutely loves climbing trees. She loves the views from the canopy, and she loves taking shelter under a palm tree when it’s raining.
Bobcats because she loves her two cats, kitten and shadow, and on a trail, she spotted a mother bobcat and her kitten and was amazed to see a big cat in the wild. She also got to witness a bobcat take a snowy egret off the bank of a river. We were canoeing and was surprised by the speed of the bobcat she wants to be able to climb trees like a bobcat she likes to think she has the agility of a bobcat they remind her of the saber tooth types cats that used to roam Florida.
Swimming! She loves the springs, the crystal-clear water and feeding the fish underwater as they all gather around her. She likes to see the turtles swimming underwater in their natural environment. She especially loves jumping into the water anything to do with water or aquatic life.
