Start Their AdventureZane's Response: "What I love most about nature is how much there is to explore! I like finding new things, like plants and rocks, and trying to figure out what animal lives here. I love being able to play anything I want outside and using things like big rocks to climb on. My favorite part is discovering animals in the places where they really live. Last year, I even got to search for tigers in India, it was their real home, and that was so cool!"
My favorite animal is the LION because of their strength! I love how they protect their family and rule the land. Their big mane makes them look like kings, and their roar is powerful and loud. You can hear it from miles away! Lions are hunters but also care for their cubs. I think they’re the coolest animals ever!"
"Besides playing soccer, my favorite outdoor activity is hiking and finding new treasures! I love exploring and searching for cool new things. My mom likes finding old stuff, but I’d rather spot animals and find awesome rocks. I always spot animals on trips. Every hike feels like a treasure hunt. I never know what I will find next!"
