I think nature is amazing because of all the bird songs and the strong trees that provide us oxygen. Every time you step outside its like stepping into another world. I love to explore nature and look for all kinds of bugs and animals. Seeing Turkey Vouchers chowing down on roadkill is also cool. They are keeping our ecosystem balanced and clean.
My favorite animal is the Tasmanian Tiger. Also known as the Thylacinus. I know that it is an extinct animal but they are really fascinating. They have the widest mouths in animal history. Even though they looked very intimidating they were actually very shy. Tasmanian tigers were also marsupials! You wouldn't think that just by looking at them.
I love to listen for birds and guess what type of bird it is. Mimicking animals sounds is also enjoyable. I get excited when an animal calls back to me. I have gotten very good at mimicking animal sounds.
