Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
We could all use a laugh right now, and animals at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi are up to some seriously amusing antics. Some of the resident critters have been let out of their cages to meet one another, and their reactions are pretty hilarious. The aquarium has also provided educational activities for home learning!
This photo shows the incredible variation in color, size, and shape that birds possess from species to species. You'd think these two would recognize each other as relatives, but they sure look perplexed!
Everyone, meet Rex. He answers the age-old, all-important question, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" It's simple: to watch the mesmerizing Corpus Christi sunrise.
Out of all the animals exploring never-before-seen parts of the aquarium, this duo is perhaps the most adorable. We've never seen a dolphin so excited about anything before -- especially meeting one of the laziest animals on earth!
Many people seem to agree with us, as this photo has been circulating the Internet like crazy. What do you think he's trying to say? Give us your best caption!

"Aquavision," the aquarium's special distance learning program, every weekday from 11:50 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. Central Time. These Facebook live videos let fans meet the veterinary team, take a virtual tour of the entire facility, learn all there is to know about sharks, and so much more. Gather up the whole family and get ready for some educational fun!
An extensive library of activities are perfect additions to at-home schooldays. Draw a coral reef, identify animals based on their shells, and use your math skills to create a weekly diet for a sandbar shark. The resident animals are busy learning new skills, too! This guy is giving artists a run for their money.
