What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreI love nature because there are animals everywhere if you look closely. I like hiking and trying to find footprints and listening for bird calls or animal sounds. Sometimes I imagine what animal made the tracks and where it went. I also love playing in rivers and streams and being around water. It feels peaceful and fun at the same time. One thing I think is really cool is that if you drive just an hour away, the land can look completely different. There might be new plants, rocks, or animals
My favorite animal is a tiger. I like tigers because they have beautiful stripes and they look really powerful. Their stripes help them camouflage so animals can’t see them very well. Tigers are also amazing hunters. They can move quietly, run really fast, and sneak up on their prey. I think it’s cool how strong and fast they are.
My favorite outdoor activity is swimming in rivers, lakes, and streams. I like being in the water and exploring different places. I will swim in almost any kind of water, except swamps! I also really like fishing because it’s exciting when you feel a fish bite the line. Sometimes you have to be really patient and quiet. Another thing I like is taking a nap under a tree when it’s warm outside. It’s peaceful and you can hear birds and the wind in the leaves.
