Max says his favorite animal is probably a panda bear. He likes them because they are very fluffy and cute, and very huge. But even though they are large animals and could potentially be powerful and destructive, they’re usually pretty gentle and friendly.
Max really likes fishing with his dad. He has become pretty good at identifying the fish he catches and releasing them himself. He’s been fishing with his dad since he was about three. He also really likes hiking through the woods. When he does, he watches for ways to help, like clearing trash. He recently helped rescue a cardinal he found with a hurt wing.
