He loves to learn random facts and tell them to everyone he sees! His favorite games are learning games and teach him about animals, their habitats, eating habits, etc. He loves to watch shows about any animal. Vet shows, zoo shows, shark week, Ranger Rick, he loves it all!
Brantley’s favorite animal is a river otter. On a school field trip to the zoo, we walked up to the river otter exhibit and the otter was in her ‘behind the scenes’ area. She came out, jumped in the water and floated in front of Brantley. Every time he would move, she followed. We learned from her keeper that her name was Hazel and that her partner had recently passed due to old age. Brantley fell in love with this sweet girl and it’s our most important stop every time we go to the zoo!
Brantley loves to play outside, no matter what it is. He loves to dig, find new and interesting rocks, pick up sticks, throw the ball; all of it! He just loves being outside!
