Receive Text UpdatesNature is full of beautiful colors—green, pink, red, orange, purple, and yellow. Everywhere I look, I see something amazing. One of my favorite things is meeting and watching animals in their natural homes. I love observing how a woodchuck swims so smoothly or how a squirrel carefully holds and eats an acorn in the wild. Each animal has its own special way of living, and I enjoy learning from them every time I go outside on my trails.
Cheetahs are my favorite animals because they are fast - just like me! I think they are really cute, and I love that they can run up to 70 miles per hour. They have long legs, just like I do, which helps them move so quickly. Cheetahs are also very important in the food chain. They help keep nature balanced by hunting animals that might otherwise become too many. I admire how strong and graceful they are.
Hiking gives Priya the chance to explore nature and meet new animal friends along the trails. She is passionate about protecting the environment and often participates in “No Plastic Use” awareness activities through her Girl Scout programs and during visits to the zoo. Priya has helped pick up plastic on trails and has created several posters to raise awareness about how plastic harms wildlife and their natural habitats. Her dedication to nature and animals truly shines through her actions.
