What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreLuca loves animals most about nature—their sounds, movements, and uniqueness. He even keeps stuffed animals at home, showing how much he cares. His favorite animal is the prairie dog, and seeing them in real life at the Badlands made it unforgettable. Watching animals up close makes him feel connected to nature, and every outdoor adventure becomes more exciting when he gets to discover and learn about them.
Luca’s favorite animal is the prairie dog because he thinks they’re both cute and incredibly cool. He loves how they pop up from the ground, always alert and curious, almost like tiny explorers. What fascinates him most is how they live in underground tunnels, creating their own hidden world beneath the surface. To Luca, prairie dogs are like little adventurers—playful, smart, and full of life—just like how he loves to explore.
Luca’s favorite outdoor activity is being in the ocean, especially boogie boarding. Living in Hawaii, he loves riding waves with his friends and spending hours in the water. One of his favorite parts is spotting sea turtles while he’s out there—it makes every session feel like an adventure. For Luca, the ocean is the perfect place to have fun, explore, and enjoy nature all at once.
