Jaguar. Vinny fell in love with jaguars from books he reads which have tons of animal facts. He knows the different patterns of spots and like everyone else, appreciates the beauty in jaguar eyes. His Valentines box was even a jaguar!
Trying to find animals and insects and underground creatures. Vinny looks under every rock, every time. He digs holes to see what’s underground, but is careful to appreciate nature and leave it alone. He knows as a human that we can often time cause harm without meaning to, so he is careful to let nature be nature without interfering as much as he can. Our job as humans is to care for the animals, and Vinny takes this very seriously! He’s always trying to help them every step of the way!
