The Loveland Living Planet Aquarium is welcoming its newest resident — a beautiful zebra shark — with a naming contest.

This is the second year Reliant and the Texas State Aquarium have teamed up to bring this learning experience to schools.

The 9.5-foot oarfish was discovered on Nov. 6, marking the second such occurrence in San Diego County this year.

Spy on curious meerkats in El Paso, adore the Houston Zoo’s baby giraffe, or watch North Texas bats snooze in tiny hammocks.

Deep-sea researchers have discovered a glowing sea slug with a huge hood that helps the creature feed like a Venus fly trap.
