My favorite animal is the capybara. They're like a cross between a beaver and a ground hog. I think they are cute!
My favorite outdoor activity is hiking and fishing! I like being outside and walking on trails with trees, fresh air, and cool views. Hiking is also fun because I can explore new places and see different things like animals, rocks, plants, and new fishing holes.
