What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreI love geology because rocks are beautiful and tell stories about nature. Some people believe they have special meanings, and I think that’s really cool. I enjoy learning how they form and how they’re part of the Earth
My favorite animal is the octopus because it is super smart. It is one of the smartest animals in the ocean, and it can squeeze through tiny holes and escape almost anywhere. I think that’s amazing. I also love how it looks, especially the blue-ringed octopus because it is so cool and unique, even though it is very venomous.
My favorite outdoor activity is going to the beach, swimming, and exploring for fish and sea creatures. One time I found an orange starfish with tiny tentacles underneath, and I thought it was amazing. I also love discovering cool rocks like geodes because when you open them, they reveal crystals inside.
