If you're a child of the 90s or the 2000s, you probably knew a kid who wanted to be a marine biologist when they grew up. Better yet, if you're on this list of animal memes, you probably were that kid. What was up with that? Why did we all want to be that specific specialty of scientist? Was it all because of the artwork of one Lisa Frank? Was it because we pet too many sting rays at the aquarium? Were we brainwashed by Finding Nemo? I guess we'll never know. It's definitely one of those childhood pipedream professions because there are so few jobs in the field. Shockingly, I know two marine biologists who used to live in California and Florida, respectively, who later moved to the Midwest, practically ending their careers in marine biology. Isn't that tragic? Anyways, whether you are an aspiring marine biologist or not, these animal memes are sure to awaken the latent animal-loving child that lives within us all.
