6 Year-Old Adventurer Teaches Kids About Nature
by captkujo.com
December 7, 2010

At age six, while most kids are just barely getting their training wheels taken off their bikes, Gus Nightingale is exploring the pristine islands of the Bahamas in search of lizards, iguanas and snakes. And while most kids his age are mastering the latest XBox games, Gus is plunging into crystal clear Caribbean water to snorkle with Southern Stingray and Squirrel fish. As you might have guessed, Gus is not your typical six-year-old.

Naturalist, adventurer and proud lizard hunter (all lizards are caught and released unharmed), young Mr. Nightingale is the host of his own children's educational nature series entitled, "Gus Outdoors". In the show, Gus embarks on different adventures and has encounters with all kinds of wildlife in a clever, fun, amusing and informative format that "delivers an entertaining, yet educational presentation that will give children a tremendous respect for nature."

In Episode 1, "Gull Island," the budding star takes the show to a beautiful island off the coast of Rhode Island where a whole new and exciting world is revealed to Gus as he visits with a rookery of nesting seabirds. In episode 2, "Lizard Town," he takes to the Bahamas to encounter a variety of the country's many amazing critters.

There are thousands of videos out there that teach as well as entertain kids, but none of them have the charismatic, smart and articulate Gus as the host. His vibrance and on screen enthusiasm makes it easy for children to follow along and take in all the fun.

If you've got young kids, check out Gus Outdoors. It just might be an instant hit with those fledgling adventurers, and it just might teach adults a thing or two, also.

So, as a six-year-old naturalist, adventurer and budding outdoor show star, Gus Nightingale is not like most kids his age. But it's clear that if he had his way, more kids would be like Gus.
