“Every animal in the world I love. I think a peregrine falcon is my favorite. I love how fast they can fly- up to 60 miles per hour. I like how sharp their talons are and that they dive down for their food- almost 200 miles per hour.”
“I like looking for animals. I try to find animals but sometimes it’s really hard. My favorite to try to find is a deer in the woods. I also like sports and riding horses.”
