What does Ben love most about nature?

Animals and how they live, like the platypus and sharks and how they survive from predators. I love my home state of NC because we have both the coast and the mountains. Both are wonderful in their own ways. The winter and when we get snow or visiting New England, snow skiing and in the summer swimming, boating in the lake and ocean. Seeing how nature and the world's creatures work together is amazing! The different plant life and land forms cially in the woods and various places we've visited


What is Ben's favorite animal—and why?

Platypus because they are fascinating and beautiful. I like how they live.


What is Ben's favorite outdoor activity?

Helping squirrels when they get lost from their mothers. Taking pictures of birds then painting them on canvas. Going into the woods and looking at different animals and their habitats. Seeing both the business and tranquility of different places and wildlife is fun! I also like to play, read and look at the stars outside.
