What does Wesley love most about nature?

The element that I most definitely love about nature is evolution. It fascinates and wonders me how amazing life changed and developed. I love how bizarre adaptations can be, and what they allow creatures to do.


What is Wesley's favorite animal—and why?

It is very hard to choose. My favorite animal right now is the Dunkleosteus. My favorite animal that isn't extinct is the Nile Monitor. I like reptiles, and it is a big, slender, agile reptile. It eats eggs and has a large throat.


What is Wesley's favorite outdoor activity?

I love to go on hikes all the time with my aunt and cousin. Activities we perform on the hike include bird watching, exploring the woods, and looking for fish in the creek. I also like to catch and release fish with my Grand Pop. I also love to listen to bird calls and identify the local birds using the Merlin app on my mom's phone. I got my grandmother who lives states away to use the app and research the birds in her backyard.
