Everything is by design and even the smallest creatures, flowers, and geologic features have important roles in the ecosystem. He loves learning animal facts and what they need to survive, so that he can better understand how to care for them. He likes to share this knowledge with others and plans to become a a zoologist. Nature is scientific and beautiful, and he loves being outside as much as possible to explore and learn.
Everest loves all animals, from the tiny tardigrade to the blue whale. He loves their unique traits, and loves animals that most people don't (like snakes, spiders, and scorpions). His favorite animal is the green anaconda, the heaviest snake in the world! The anaconda is beautiful, a good swimmer, has constricting power to kill and eat prey much larger than itself, and can move its heart within its body to avoid injury when eating large meals! The anaconda is the apex predator in South America!
Everest loves all outdoor activities with family and friends: hiking, camping, exploring nature, climbing trees, riding bikes, rollerblading, and snowboarding. When hiking, he loves flipping over rocks to search for snakes, scorpions, spiders, centipedes, millipedes, salamanders, frogs, and toads. He loves exploring every niche of the ecosystem! He also loves climbing rocks along the route, and running ahead to hide and surprise his sister! He takes good care of his dog Panda, his hiking buddy.
