What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreIn his own words, "I love the earth and I love my Mommy." But more specifically, Tripp mostly enjoys the endless opportunities of nature, whether that may be coming across a new bug in the dirt, hearing a new bird sound, or endlessly chasing a butterfly. Nothing will tickle this kiddo more than the idea of an animal choosing him. His favorite shows always include animal facts or animal rescues, and you can always catch a sweet grin from our sweet Tripp when the animal is safe and sound again.
Tripp has several different favorite animals and has a hard time choosing just one. He loves farm animals, but also has a deep fascination for exotic animals such as lemurs, rhinos, and big cats. He confesses his love for lemurs stems from their characteristics of being curious and acrobatic, two characteristics he can most likely relate to. While he is intrigued by the size and strength of large carnivores, the light-heartedness and comedic clumsiness of panda bears always bring a smile as well
Checking for eggs in the chicken coop is definitely a top-tier highlight of each day for this guy! He also enjoys checking on his farm animals, including his pet bunny "Captain Snowball" and his favorite sheep, "Milo." He really enjoys holding the bucket of feed for alpacas to eat from, instead of emptying it in their trough. Last but not least, any outdoor activity with water and/or mud is a definite for a good time!
