The #AstrosCaravan featured a penguin, an otter and George Springer bagging groceries

With the Astros' Winter Caravan in full swing on Friday, members of the team stopped by various community locations throughout Texas to visit with their fans of all shapes, sizes and ... species, apparently:

Yes, the caravan stopped by Galveston Island's Moody Gardens to visit some of the non-human Astros supporters. But Presley wasn't the only one to get in touch with the animal kingdom -- Jose Altuve and Brandon Backe were there too:

Earlier in the day, the team stopped by the local U.S. Coast Guard station, where Altuve offered some good advice:

Advice that fellow Astros George Springer and Jake Marisnick must not have followed on their stop-off in Corpus Christi, Texas:

Uh oh. Can someone free @gspringer_4 and @JSMarisnick from The Brig?! #AstrosCaravan pic.twitter.com/UaZ5JCQTB1

Thankfully, they broke out just in time for Springer to get to his winter job -- helping bag groceries at a local grocery store:
