My favorite aspect of biology is animals! I like to understand how and why animals act the way they do. It explains every interaction among populations and how it effects the dynamic of the different systems.  I am also interested in conserving the populations of endangered animals. Some of my favorite animals are bears, sloths, cats, dolphins, sea otters, quokkas, and raccoons.[[File:Quokka-1024.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Quokka: So Cute!]]
