My child should be the next Jr. Ranger! She LOVES animals—koalas, chickens, birds & squirrels—and dreams of being a vet one day!

What she loves most about nature is the way it feels alive and peaceful all at once. She’s fascinated by the sounds of birds singing, the sight of squirrels playing, and the quiet beauty of trees swaying in the wind. Being in nature makes her feel calm, curious, and connected. It’s where her love for animals grows and where her dream of becoming a veterinarian truly comes to life.
Her favorite animal is the koala because they’re gentle, cuddly, and love to nap—just like her! She’s fascinated by how they live in trees, eat eucalyptus, and care for their babies. Koalas make her smile, and learning about them inspires her dream of becoming a veterinarian so she can help protect animals like them.
Her favorite outdoor activity is exploring nature trails and spotting animals along the way. She loves listening for birds, looking for squirrels, and imagining what it would be like to care for wild animals in their natural homes. Being outside fills her with joy and lets her curiosity and love for animals shine.
