What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreI love nature and animals because they make me happy. I like going outside and seeing trees, flowers, and birds. It’s fun to hear the wind in the leaves and watch butterflies fly around. Animals are so cute and fun to be around. I like petting dogs, watching squirrels run, and hearing cats purr. Nature is like a big playground, and animals are my friends. They make the world feel more alive and special, and I always feel good when I’m around them.
Platypus is my favorite animal because it’s so cool and different from all the others! It has a bill like a duck, a tail like a beaver, and feet like an otter. It can swim really well and lays eggs even though it’s a mammal. I think it’s fun how it looks like a mix of a bunch of animals all in one. Platypuses are also shy and live in the water, which makes them kind of mysterious. I like how unique and special they are—it’s like they have their own secret world!
I love all outdoor activities they are so much fun and never boring! I like playing sports, going on hikes, and climbing trees. And anything in the water! When I’m outside, I can be active, laugh, and try new things. I like feeling the wind, the sun, and sometimes even the rain. There’s always something cool to do, whether it’s camping,fishing, paddle boarding, swimming, or exploring! Outdoor activities make me feel happy, strong, and full of energy! I am always excited for my next adventure!
