Animals’ habitats are being lost to deforestation and construction because of people. But we can change that if we spread the word.”
“My favorite animal is the tarantula because they are underrated and cute. My pet Mexican Rose Gray, Nox, can eat a cricket half his size, climb the glass in his terrarium and go 8 weeks without eating!”
“I love camping because I can explore nature, create new memories, spend time with my family, and eat s’mores by the fire. I like camping at Temple Bar in Arizona because it’s got places to ride my bike, a lake for kayaking, and it’s beautiful.”
