For as long as I can remember I have always loved science and nature. I have always had pets, and those of us who has grown up with them know you learn so much from them. I have also always loved space (ya know, the big black stuff up there when the big bright thing goes away...). When I was very little, I used to study the stars and planets. I found out about constellations and the mythological stories behind them. When I found that a lot of it pertained to animals - BINGO! - that is when the love for fantasy and wildlife bloomed.
