What does Dawson love most about nature?

My favorite part about nature is the cool animals that you can observe, learn about, and study. The natural habitats they live in, and the types of weather they live in for all different species.


What is Dawson's favorite animal—and why?

My favorite animal/reptile is the alligator snapping turtle. They are historical creatures and their species have been around since the Cretaceous period. Their bite is very powerful and they can live to over 100 years old.


What is Dawson's favorite outdoor activity?

My favorite outdoor activity is going to the beach or a dirt road to hunt for shark teeth of all kinds. Finding fossils from centuries ago that have come up after rain falls.
