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!
