What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreShe loves how beautiful nature and wildlife is. She enjoys things like bird watching and seeing animals in their native habitat. She also loves the colors and patterns that can be found in nature -like in spider webs and patterns on leaves.
She says big cats, because she likes cats and is impressed with their climbing and hunting skills. However, I think her favorite animal is a roly poly. It's really interesting that they are crustaceans. As an avid dinosaur fan, she thinks it's so cool how they have evolved to live on land over such a long time.
Her favorite outdoor activity is going on nature walks and hikes. She slows down and takes everything in, allowing time to experience nature and hopefully see some wildlife. You can tell when you see her in hiking she slows down and really observes what is going on around her, paying special attention to try to not disturb plants and animals.
