When I ask Weiss about what he loves most about nature he says he is most curious learning how animals take cover from danger. He is very interested in snakes, porcupines, and any animal he stumbles upon while digging his many deep holes or building his various other animal dwellings out of sticks, bricks, or other materials he discovers on our property.
When I asked Weiss what his favorite animal is he said an electric eel because he really likes how they defend themselves with electricity. He likes how powerful they are!
Consistent with what he does or is asking do ANYTIME we are at home, he says his most favorite thing to do outside is to dig holes and build animal houses. He likes to walk around and find materials left behind from many years past and repurpose them to build animal houses!
