His heart beats for the wild! He devours animal facts: habitats, diets, even wild battles! Dreams of having them all (mom says no!). Watches every animal show, craving real-life nature. This Jr. Ranger will be the happiest, most dedicated, learning and protecting every creature he meets!
"My favorite animal is the axolotl because they are fascinating and cute! My Axy is my favorite!" He's utterly captivated by their unique look and amazing abilities. Having his own has only deepened his love for all creatures! I had to get an Axolotl for him for Christmas. He is so obsessed and all his friends call him Axolotl.
That's just the spark we're looking for! His favorite thing? Running and exploring – especially around Flamingo Gardens, where he even dresses up as an explorer! Imagine that boundless energy and curiosity unleashed as a Jr. Ranger! He's practically one already!
