Every plant and animal has its own special characteristics and instincts, like a Tiger Shark. Tiger Sharks can eat almost anything, one was even found with a license plate in its stomach. Nature can be absolutely huge like the grand canyon or teeny tiny like a white-lipped snail. We need nature to stay alive because we are a part of nature and it gives us food!
Tempe's favorite animal is a White Siberian Tiger. She likes all tigers but the white ones are just a little bit fancier. They are unique and interesting. Their licks can help heal wounds and their stripes help them blend into tall grass. One of the reasons Tempe love White tigers is because they are super rare and are only white because of a mutation! Just like everything else in nature, tigers are unique and their stripes are just as special as a humans finger prints.
Tempe's favorite thing to do outside is climbing, especially rock climbing or climbing trees. There are lots of different ways you can climb outside, from climbing a mountain to just climbing a tree in the backyard. She enjoys climbing because it feels like a puzzle you get to do with your whole body and there is no right or wrong way to climb something. She loves to challenge herself with harder and harder climbs all the time because the challenge is what makes it fun.
