What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreAll the wildlife, big and small, captivates him. He’s fascinated by the diverse colors and species in nature. Caterpillar season, lizard catching, catch-and-release fishing, rabbits, birds, and so much more—he loves it all! He eagerly requests a backyard pond and dreams of visiting Yellowstone to witness the majestic buffalo and elk.
I'm not sure I can give a definitive answer because his favorite tends to change frequently since he genuinely loves them all—from axolotls to elk and everything in between. He typically has a favorite within each species, but choosing just one overall favorite is quite challenging.
Hiking (critter searching), especially waterside, trips to areas with different species than his home so he can see and learn more hands-on.
