Nature is beautiful, I love how it changes and morphs. I love being outside and going on hikes but usually slow my parents down so we can see a cool plant, bug or animal. In the trails near us I've seen bobcats, bunnies, turtles, birds. There are snakes near our house and I'm always careful to identify and watch out for the venomous ones. I've named some of the herons and hawks that have nested near our home.
That is a really hard decision but I'd have to say wild cats as a whole, but if I have to pick one Jaguar is number one. They are beautiful and great hunters and stalkers. They care for their young so well and groom each other. I love how they can be both social or loners and how they stretch. It's so funny how my small kitten doing so many similar things to the enormous big cats I see on TV or the zoo.
I love fishing and exploring the creeks and lakes near my house. I'm not afraid to get dirty or wet to find an interesting animal or plant. I love finding something new and then researching what it is back at home.
