Learn MoreBrightyn loves watching wildlife in its own home and just seeing how the deer, squirrels, turkeys, lizards and toads move around and react to things.
Spider monkeys are Brightyn’s favorite animal. She likes them because they are cute and smart. She likes how they use their tails like a hand and they all have such different personalities.
