Jane Goodall

Nature Girl-
I think that you should look up Jane Goodall. She was a scientist and conservationist who studied primates. I'm listening to an old interview with her and she is talking about her childhood. She sounds so much like you! She lived in a sea side town and had a tree in her yard that she liked to climb. She says that her dog taught her about animals and how they have personalities and feelings. She took worms to bed with her when she was a toddler - just one and a half - Her mom told her the story - and she did this because she loved them. She travelled Africa with her mom to study chimpanzees...
