Start Their AdventureGranger loves nature because it’s full of surprises and adventure. He enjoys fishing, hiking, camping, and discovering animals in the wild. He’s always been curious—flipping rocks to find bugs, rescuing turtles, and watching deer quietly from afar. His favorite part is helping animals, and he dreams of running a wildlife rescue center one day. Nature is where he feels happiest, most free, and inspired to protect the world around him.
Granger’s favorite animal is the tortoise because he admires how strong and steady they are. He loves that they carry their homes on their backs, live a long time, and never rush—but always get where they need to go. He thinks tortoises are interesting to watch and likes learning about how they survive in different habitats. He says, “They might be slow, but they’re smart and tough, and I think that’s pretty cool.”
Granger’s favorite outdoor activity is exploring and searching for animals. Whether he’s hunting for bugs and frogs in the woods, riding around the property looking for wildlife, fishing in a nearby pond, or discovering tiny marine creatures in the tide pools at the beach, he’s always on the lookout for something new. He loves the thrill of the search and learning about each creature he finds. He says, “It’s like going on a new adventure every time I go outside.”
