What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreAustin loves everything about nature! From trees to insects, mammals and marsupials. He loves learning how everything coexists and depends on each other to survive
His favorite animals are cats. They're cute, soft and playful. He was overjoyed to learn about the Black-footed Cat (Felis nigripes)of Africa and how, although adorable with its large eyes and small stature, it is considered the most deadly cat in the world.
Austin's favorite outdoor activity is walking with his mom along local nature trails or Greenways. They take their time looking for insects and other animals to identify and talk about their role in the ecosystem.
