Receive Text UpdatesAnna loves the wild—the messier, muddier, and wilder, the better. She’s always the first to grab a frog, chase a lizard, or pick up the creatures others are too scared to touch. Growing up with two brothers, she’s fiercely competitive and never stands back—especially when it comes to catching the biggest or scariest creepy-crawly. In her pink cowboy boots and camo hoodie, she follows secret animal paths, collecting rocks and leaves like treasures. She loves the newness of each day in the wild!
Anna has always loved wild cats. Growing up on a game reserve in South Africa, she was lucky enough to see cheetahs, lions, and leopards near her home, and she would watch them in complete awe. But her absolute favorite is the tiger. She says they are “the biggest cats, very pretty, and orange is her favorite color.” To Anna, tigers are strong, beautiful, and a little bit mysterious—and she dreams of one day seeing one in the wild.
Anna loves building little shelters in the woods out of sticks and branches. She turns them into tiny homes, decorating them with rocks, leaves, and other treasures she finds. If there’s a bug, frog, or lizard nearby, it’s likely she’s already made it a place to stay. She’s fiercely protective of the creatures she discovers. Her love for nature doesn’t stop outside either—she sometimes sneaks her “findings” home for closer inspection (which we usually discover later!!)
