I love turning over rocks and logs to look for salamanders in my backyard, and searching for frogs in the pond. I especially love when I find snakes in the wild.”
“My favorite animal is a cougar because they can jump really, really far. I also really like reptiles. I have three pet reptiles that I take care of: a bearded dragon named Puff, a veiled chameleon named Ursula and a corn snake named Rosa. I also have 7 chickens, but of course those aren’t reptiles.”
“My favorite thing to do outside is look for creatures and learn about their natural habitats. We live by the ocean and have lots of really neat bodies of water to explore both salt and freshwater. We also have a big salt marsh that is FULL of wildlife!"
