Potts Camp native Holley Muraco is a world-renowned dolphin expert
By BLAKE ALSUP Daily Journal Aug 6, 2022
TUPELO • Dr. Holley Muraco, a world-renowned dolphin expert, developed her love of animals decades ago in rural Marshall County. Muraco, 47, grew up on a farm in Potts Camp, a small town in Northeast Mississippi. Even as a kid, she was obsessed with animals. "Everything that crawls or creeps," as she described it.
Muraco said she never came across an animal she didn't want to be near, touch or learn about. "My parents, bless them, let me bring home every little broken critter to try to save it," Muraco said. "And everything that needed to be bottle-fed, they knew they could hand it over."
Having spent her career traveling the world to research dolphins and other marine animals, Muraco has returned to Mississippi where she's served as director of research for the Mississippi Aquarium in Gulfport since 2019.

Mississippi research and inspiring the next generation
When an opportunity presented itself, Muraco and her family moved back to Mississippi. "I have enjoyed an absolutely incredible career, I have been able to do some amazing things, and I am ready to give back in the form of helping my state," Muraco said. The Mississippi Aquarium, where she's served as director of research since 2019, is building a robust conservation and research program that will not only benefit the animals in its care, but will in turn help the state's wildlife.

IMHO, I know we associate beavers with "dams" but they use those big piles to build a "lodge" to live in!
He was trying to make a "home" and even found Sponge Bob, an aquatic figure who was giving him some fits to get the place "just right".
