Receive Text UpdatesEmilia loves all animals especially button quails, quokkas, capybaras, falcons and snakes. Her sister calls her the animal encyclopedia! More than once she has stumped the zoo or SeaWorld employees with her knowledge or her questions! She loves to share her knowledge especially "fun facts" that no one knows about a particular species. Her favorite show has always been Wild Kratts where her love for animal facts was honed.
Right now, her favorite is the button quail. They are tiny, sweet and so adorable! She very much wants her mom and dad to get her a button coil set up so that she can hatch eggs. In the meantime, she's busy with her two shih tzu dogs, Zoe and Pepper who keep her on her toes. She was very excited to get an animal experience for Christmas. She was able to learn about falconry from a local falconer, and she held and fed a falcon and had it land in her gloved hand!
Emilia loves catching anoles, floating leaves down rain gullies, gardening and helping in the yard with her dad. She loves horseback riding.
