Receive Text UpdatesBrantley is fascinated that nature has different habitats and different types of animals live in different habitats! Brantley particularly enjoys forests and forest animals. He loves to watch the white tail deer walk around eating the wild berries and see rabits hopping quietly around his papa's property! Brantley also enjoys wetlands and has learned so much about waterfowl conservation while hanging out with his dad!
Brantley thinks gorillas are the coolest animal on the planet! Upon reading books and doing online research he has learned gorillas are intelligent and very much human like! He is fascinated with the fact that gorillas share over 90% of their DNA with humans and can be trained to use sign language to communicate, draw, and use tools! He hopes that the gorilla population grows larger as they are currently an endangered species.
Brantleys favorite outdoor activity is kayaking! Brantley enjoys kayaking our local creek and seeing the wildlife that lives in and around the creek. He counts every painted turtle he sees while on the water with mom (usually they are sunbathing on water logs), points out the different birds he sees, and giggles when fish splash out of the water! Brantley even saw a Muskrat for the first time last summer while kayaking!
