Oziah's favorite animal is the grizzly bear because they are majestic. He love's watching videos of them catching fish when they dive into the water and grab the fish with their mouths. He likes their fur, their eyes, their cubs, and their big roar. They are amazing animals… "not like the baseball team.”
When he isn't playing baseball his favorite outdoor activity is hiking. He says, "When you hike you get to explore and see a lot of cool things in nature like foxes, hawks, plants, and animal tracks. Sometimes you even see gross things too, but that’s part of the adventure. Hiking is fun and it’s also really good for your body.”
