What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreOllie loves exploring and discovering new animals and species he’s never seen before, especially by looking under rocks. He enjoys spending time outside with neighborhood friends and takes pride in teaching us interesting facts about the organisms he finds. In addition, he loves learning new things about nature from others.
Ollie’s favorite animals he’s familiar with are salamanders and roly-polies, since he can easily find them where he lives. He’s especially fascinated by elephants for their gentle nature and strong memory, and by giant squid because there’s still so much we don’t know about them. Sloths were his favorite when he was younger, so he still has a nostalgic love for them.
Ollie’s favorite outdoor activity is exploring the “back forty,” as he calls it—a name his grandparents use that stuck. He loves looking under rocks, digging holes, and climbing trees. He’s active and imaginative, often playing tag, catch, and make-believe games in the yard with his neighborhood friends and little brother.
