Grand Canyon Junior Ranger (by William)

This summer we went to Arizona to visit Grand Canyon National Park and I got sworn in as a Junior Ranger.

The badge looks like an arrowhead with the word “Junior Park Ranger” on it.  It is made from plastic and it has the symbol of National Park Service emblem.

What I learned from Grand Canyon Junior Ranger class included “DUDE,” the formation of Grand Canyon.  D means deposition, U means uplift, D means down cut, and E means erosion. 

I also learned the shapes of poop from animals.  Herbivore’s poop are ball shaped and carnivore’s poop are sausage shaped.  My poop sometimes are ball shaped, and sometimes are sausage shaped, so I am an omnivore.

Squirrels are the deadliest animal in Grand Canyon because they carry disease and can bite you.

I learned a lot in the Junior Ranger class and I like my badge.  Hope you will collect National Park Junior Ranger badge too.
