Receive Text UpdatesWyatt has a deep love for nature, especially animals. What he loves most is that there is always something new to learn—how animals live, survive, grow, and change. He enjoys being hands-on, helping, exploring habitats, and understanding where animals live and how they thrive. Anything that involves animals excites him, and his curiosity about the natural world never stops growing.
Wyatt’s favorite animal is the blue-ringed octopus because he finds it fascinating and loves learning how it survives in the wild. He thinks the bright blue spots are the most satisfying part to look at and loves how they warn other animals to stay away. He is amazed that such a small animal can have powerful venom, like a snake bite. He also loves that the suckers gather data about their surroundings, which makes the octopus even more interesting to him.
Wyatt’s favorite outdoor activity is exploring our nine acres of land looking for animal tracks, bones, bird nests, or any signs of animal life that was once there. He loves studying clues animals leave behind to learn more about how they live. He even built an owl house for one of the owls in our trees and is hoping the owl will choose it to make a nest soon.
