What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreLeo says his favorite thing about “nature” is that you can explore it at home, school, on vacation, or anywhere you are! Even in our big city we can find birds, bugs, and plants. Right now he is very interested in finding seeds from trees like the big magnolia seed! When you travel you get to learn about new parts of nature that you see in books - there is always more nature to explore!
Leo says that his favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo because they are part of the Big 5 and have horns! He likes that they eat plants and are thus herbivores, but still can chase away a ferocious lion. He also says that he likes them because they have bird friends like oxpeckers who help get rid of parasites.
Leo’s favorite outdoor activity is going on hikes with with his mom, dad, and little brother. He also loves to explore rock pools at the beach to find both the marine life and plants that make it their home.
