What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreClara is a nature explorer at heart! Inspired by shows like Wild Kratts and The Jeff Corwin Experience, she loves discovering how animals live and what makes them special. Her favorite thing is watching creatures in their habitats and learning about their unique abilities. Whether it's a chameleon changing colors or a bird soaring high, Clara is amazed by the wonders of the wild world. She dreams about becoming a wildlife scientist one day.
Clara loves Blue Jays because they are vibrant and clever! She likes that they wear a crown of blue feathers and a black necklace, making them look like little royalty. They're also great imitators—sometimes they mimic hawk calls to trick other birds and get more food! Blue Jays are smart too; they've been seen using sticks and paper to reach food. Clara loves how these birds are both beautiful and brainy like her!
Clara loves catching bugs, playing in the mud, and swinging because these activities connect her to the heart of nature. Catching bugs lets her observe tiny creatures up close while playing in mud offers a sensory-rich experience, engaging her senses and promoting creativity. Swinging "feels like flying" fueling her imagination. These outdoor adventures strengthen her body, boost her mood, and build resilience, all while deepening her bond with the natural world .
