Receive Text UpdatesCarson loves all the wildlife that you can spot in nature. Carson lives in the Panhandle of Florida where there is a lot of wildlife, from the black bears in our neighborhood to the manatees in the natural Florida springs. Sharks, dolphins and rays are seen from our pier and that is always a treat!
Carson's favorite animals are black bears. They are his favorite because of their personalities. They are always eating our neighbor's trash and using our utility pole as a scratching post. They are so fun to observe, but from a distance!
Carson has lots of favorite activities, but he really enjoys kayaking. We have land with a 6 acre pond, that is home to turtles, alligators, lots of fish and a family of otters! He loves to take his kayak out and see what wildlife he can spot.
