What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreAsher loves animals in nature, especially squirrels, foxes, and lizards. Squirrels are so funny the way they chase each other and leap through trees. Foxes are cool because they’re sneaky and smart—Asher always hopes to spot one. Lizards are fun to watch sunbathe on rocks, and he likes how fast they run and how they blend in. It’s awesome seeing how different each animal is!
Dolphins are Asher’s favorite because they’re really smart and friendly. They use echolocation to “see” with sound, like real-life sonar. They can swim really fast, jump high, and even sleep with one eye open! Dolphins live in groups called pods and help each other. They talk with clicks and whistles, and some even have names!
Asher’s favorite outdoor activities are camping and exploring national parks in Utah! He loves hiking red rock trails, climbing, and swimming in rivers and lakes. Arches and Goblin Valley are his favorite—there’s always something cool to see. He likes finding animals, making s’mores, and sleeping in a tent. It feels like a big adventure every time!
