I am polite and compassionate, but rather serious at times. I am soft-spoken and quiet, unless I know you very well! Then I can talk and talk and talk!! I am also surprisingly gentle and sensitive despite my tough skin.

WHAT DO I LIKE?

I LOVE to wallow. I enjoy covering myself with mud and letting it dry. You see I’m clever too, because this protects my skin from the hot sun! I also like to rub my body against tree trunks and rocks to remove ticks and other insects that stick to my thick skin. I love my friends and going on adventures with them.

I don’t like being told what to do or being rushed to go places.

Butternut squash
