What does Giovanni love most about nature?

Everything! I love watching animals and bugs and learning all about them. I like to see them up close, touch them when it's safe, and even feed them! My favorite place to be is at the beach where I can look for all the animals I learn about in the water!


What is Giovanni's favorite animal—and why?

My favorite animal is the Crown Of Thorns Starfish! I think it's amazing how many legs they have, and I love the different colors they can appear. I've learned they are dangerous and not to touch, but I hope to see one in real life one day!


What is Giovanni's favorite outdoor activity?

I love exploring outside and finding creatures to watch and learn about. I always ask lots of questions and make up personalities for the animal or bug, and try to find more facts in my Ranger Rick Jr magazine! Each year Gio helps grow native milkweed plants to support monarch butterflies. He is gentle and caring to any caterpillars he finds, and loves to feed them and watch them grow.
