What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreRaihan has a love of animals and their ways of living. He loves to wait and watch creatures as they blend, mimic, and shape their habitat. He always tells me that it is amazing how the creatures adapt to survive the habitat changes. He keeps amazing me with the facts he shares when we go for walks.
Raihan's favorite animal/ is the kākāpō. He mentions that not only is it a very exotic bird and adaptive, but it is also a symbol of endurance and hardship over the ages. It is an endangered bird. The owl parrot is smart and even after its species, one on the verge of extinction, it has learned to thrive and live. It makes him feel uplifted and motivated by its struggle to fight for a living. In a world like this one must survive and adapt to live, and that is what the kākāpō was quick to learn.
Raihan's favorite outdoor activity is birding. He loves watching different falcons like red-tailed hawks perch--always having a pair of binoculars nearby. Recently at Quarry Lakes, he came nearly a couple of feet away from a turkey vulture, a pair who was fighting. After they left, the group soon came back with a ton more! He also has a spot for looking at them, which is the tallest pine tree. Many peregrine falcons take a lookout, but they don't know another person is watching them--my son.
