Wyatt says his favorite animal is the Gila monster. He was first drawn to them because of their unique pattern, which he loves. He also thinks it's impressive that they have such a powerful bite. He saw a Gila monster at the Zoo last year and it was quite an exciting experience for him!
Wyatt says, "My favorite outdoor activity is exploring the woods in search of a creek. I love to look underneath rocks and leaves to see what I'll find. Some of the creatures I'm looking to find at the creek are salamanders, frogs, crawfish and waterbugs. The other day I found seven salamanders and one frog. After I am done holding and observing, I always let them go back to live free and in the wild. Being in nature makes me happy and I'm excited for any chance I get to explore."
