“My favorite animal is a red panda. They’re just such fascinating creatures. It’s like a panda, but a long tail. And they’re red! My second favorite animal is a gecko! I love geckos because they are reptiles, and reptiles are my favorite, and they can regrow their tails!”
“My favorite outdoor activity is basically anything. I like to go four wheeling and find bones and skulls. I also like to go fishing! Once we caught a turtle who bit the worm on our hook! We got to say hi to him and then we put him back in the water. Then we caught him again!”
