Coincidentally, they arrive just in time for Pride month.
It’s no wonder these intelligent alien-looking creatures have “half a billion neurons, about as many as a dog.” And most of those neurons are in their arms.
They may even have consciousness.

According to the Telegram, the archeologists also found that the 30-year old merchant was carrying 22 silver and bronze coins in a leather pouch. They also found a house key buried underneath the skeleton.
Naturally, the extraordinary discovery has become a target for jokes, including one individual setting up a GoFundMe account.
He doesn't know what happened, he been living under a rock for 2000 years! Bahhhaaaa

With the polar vortex sweeping the Midwest and other parts of the nation, there are some animals like alligators that welcome the freeze.
Crocodiles in North Carolina take in winter by letting their body freeze while allowing their nostrils to hang out in the air.
The survival mechanism is called brumation, where there the reptile hibernates underwater for a few days at a time to lowers its body heat and metabolism. Peep the video after the jump.
If you liked the video of the dead leaf butterfly, then you’ll want to check out this video of the beautiful Archduke (Lexias pardalis dirteana) butterfly in its baby caterpillar state.
Full of spines, its next stage will be chrysalis before shedding and breaking into a restless butterfly.
Known as the Kallima
The upper side of the dead leaf butterfly is beautifully colored, with yellow and dark blue and blue patterns. Check out the two videos after the jump including the video of the dragontail butterfly.
