What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreEmmanuel says hands down, his favorite thing about nature is the animals! He loves venturing into the wilderness to see animals in their natural habitats, identifying species, and observing their behaviors.
Emmanuel's favorite animal is the King Cobra because it is the largest venomous snake in the world. Some people think snakes are scary, but Emmanuel has a special appreciation for all reptiles, particularly snakes, and especially venomous ones. He says we don’t need to fear them as they are just like any other animal just trying to survive, and encourages us to take a second look at that snake, because they’re actually really cute!
Emmanuel's favorite outdoor activity is hiking. Its the perfect opportunity to smell the forest air, play in the trees, climb the rocks, lift up logs, and play in the creek. The opportunities are endless!
