Receive Text UpdatesMajor loves nature because he’s not afraid to get right in the middle of it. He’ll pick up bugs, chase frogs, flip rocks, and see what’s living underneath because he likes figuring out how everything works. Being outside makes him feel connected to the animals and the world around him, like he’s part of the adventure, not just watching it.
Major’s favorite animal is a lemur because they’re wild, curious, and always on the move. He loves how they jump from tree to tree and aren’t afraid to explore their world, which is exactly how he likes to explore nature too.
Major’s favorite outdoor activity is fishing because he loves the challenge and the surprise of what might be on the other end of the line. It’s exciting to sit quietly in nature, watch the water, and then suddenly feel that tug.
