What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreThe thing Dom loves most about nature is exploring. He is very curious about the world around him and wants to know everything, asking questions nonstop. He loves to explore beaches, lakes, forests and trails. He pays close attention to the wildlife, as well as the plants and rocks in the area. He lives for the outdoors and doesn't mind getting dirty.
Dom's favorite type of animals are reptiles. Recently, he was able to hug an alligator and pet a cobra at his 8th birthday party. However, his favorite reptile and animal of all is the komodo dragon. For one, the komodo dragon is the largest reptile of all. His immense size makes him one of the most dangerous predators. Second, it has a dangerous, venomous bite. One bite and it's prey will get severely infected. Finally, the komodo dragon resembles Godzilla, the king of the monsters.
Dom's favorite outdoor activity is searching for insects. Dom likes to explore our yard, the park, as well as the soccer fields for insects. He likes to catch insects, observe them, and release them. He will overturn rocks and dig in dirt in the hopes of finding an insect to study. This favorite activity of his, led to his first pets: a ghost mantis and leafbug.
