What does Matilda love most about nature?

Matilda loves being in nature and observing wildlife. She never stops asking questions. Her favorite thing is probably learning something that she didn't know before.


What is Matilda's favorite animal—and why?

Horses. She loves riding and brushing and talking to her horse. She is also a huge fan of turkey vultures. It took us until she was about 6 years old to convince her that every bird she saw wasn't a vulture. She also loves snakes. We spent most of last summer catching snakes and taking pictures of them. As far as why....she just loves animals.


What is Matilda's favorite outdoor activity?

Matilda loves camping and exploring. Give her a chance to wander and find something neat and she will talk about it for ages.
