What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreAnimals are so cool. They have many different features that help them to do special jobs. Like how insects have antennas to sense what is around them. Animals are hard to find so it is exciting to see them in nature. I also love plants I like to help my mom in her garden and it is so cool that we can grow food to eat! I love being outside because I feel more peaceful. I want to make my house look like a jungle with lots of plants everywhere so I can still feel like I’m outside when I’m inside.
My favorite animal is a hippo. I like that they have really thick skin. They are such big animals, but they can still go fast! Hippos are good moms and protect their babies. The biggest reason I love hippos is for their big mouth and teeth. Their jaws are so strong and they are so fierce that they can beat a crocodile in a fight.
I love to climb trees and rocks. I love the feeling of being up high and really tall because I feel big and brave when I’m up so high. I also like finding and catching bugs and animals with my brother. Sometimes we learn new things about them by looking at them. I like discovering new bugs and learning new things about animals. It is fun to feel like an explorer.
