Elijah's favorite animal since he's been a toddler is a cheetah. They are the fastest land animal on earth. He loves their spotted coats and their famous tear marks on their faces. They have extra long tails to help with balance. Cheetahs eyesight is amazing and helps with hunting; and they are less aggressive and more shy.
Elijah's loves to ride his bike to the woods so he can climb trees and sit and watch the animals for hours.
