Watching the animals in their habitat make you curious and happy at the same time. He loves that nature is always there and thriving.
Vale's favorite animal is a black panther. He loves that they blend in with their surroundings and hunt in the dark due to their nocturnal eyesight. He thinks they are beautiful creatures. He likes that they have one of the strongest bite forces in nature.
Vale's favorite outdoor activity is what he likes to call "creekin". He enjoys going to our local creeks and waterways wearing his waders with his net and bucket in hand to catch crawdads, freshwater clams, softshell turtles, salamander, minnows, and frogs. He likes cleaning up their habitats and helping the critters as he explores.
