Jellyfish
Although their bodies are composed of 95 percent water, jellyfish remain some of the most fascinating and diverse sea creatures. They also prose real creative challenges for researchers, which is why the elaborate exhibit, “Jellies” at the Shedd Aquarium through May 28, provides such a rare glimpse into the world of these see-through sea animals.

Someone must have taken away their credit cards, because these rhinos aren't charging.
Every so often we like to remind our readers that we aren’t the only families out there — we may not even be the cutest.
That’s right, I just said that rhinos are cuter than people. Deal with it.
This mother and baby white rhino duo were spotted sharing some quality time at the Whipsnade Zoo in Whipsnade, England. That’s what mothers and babies do, and not just in Whipsnade.
With summer approaching you may find you and yours on the road or opting for a staycation — either way, don’t forget to support the zoos in the area. It’s true that zoos get a bad rap in some circles, and there are those that deserve it, but a lot of them are doing great things to help restore animal populations, and that’s a good thing. Also, cute.
This post is part of our Friday Family series.

Swim down!
I found Nemo! Also, Waldo.
Many U.S. cities along the coast(s) and other major waterways offer some type of aquarium. Don’t let that fact keep you from stopping at as many as you can. Not only do they each house different species in accordance to their location, but there’s also the chance of a celebrity sighting (still talking about Nemo).
It’s good, wet fun for the whole family!

Learning the ropes.
I can relate to this picture on many levels. Except I’m hairier. True story.
This is family fun at its finest. You and your little primates can stop in and watch the good times fly (also, poop) at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida.
