What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreI love the never-ending surprises and new discoveries that are always being made about the natural world. This week I learned about a mirror beetle in Costa Rica and a frog that glows in Argentina.
The flamingo is one of my favorite animals. Of course they are known for their pink color, but did you know it’s because of the food they eat? They also like to be in a group, just like me!
Boulder climbing is the best outdoor activity. One of the places I like to climb is on Pike’s Peak in Colorado because it has fantastic views in every direction and can snow even in the summer. Before I climb I like to yell, “activate mountain goat mode”, then I pretend I have superpowers to climb very fast. In Joshua Tree National Park there are many sizes and shapes of rock formations - so many climbing opportunities. I like to see how high I can climb.
