What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreShane loves spending time in nature. He loves finding animal habitats, trails/tracks, scales or any signs of animals. The only thing he enjoys more than finding signs of life is finding the creature itself.
Shane’s favorite animal is an octopus. He likes the cool features like blending in, shooting out ink, and regrowing an arm. He also likes how sneaky and intelligent they are.
Shane’s favorite outdoor activity in the summer is swimming with a close second of hiking to find creatures. In Maryland we don’t get to enjoy a lot of the winter as it is too cold, but at the first sign of spring, Shane is back out hunting for signs of animal life.
