What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreShe loves the animals themselves. She loves the abilities they have to survive and the fascination with how they interact with their environment. She is driven to protect them. She is passionate about getting up close with them and will never pass up a chance to be up close (in a safe way). She loves to share her passion and knowledge with others. She already knows she wants to work in a career caring for animals.
A cat is her favorite because we have 2 cats, and she is able to be as close to them as she wants. She also loves their unique personalities. She is fascinated by their abilities like stalking prey, being observant and how they adapt. She loves interacting with them and often creates new enrichment for them at home.
Her favorite outdoor activity right now is photography. She loves capturing nature like plants, landscape and animals. She also is into hiking. She does not want the hiking on a paved trail either. She prefers the mud trails through the trees where she can spot birds and squirrels. She goes hiking to look for wildlife not necessarily for the exercise.
