How a caterpillar becomes a Butterfly?
Caterpillars go through a process called metamorphosis, which is a Greek word that means "transformation" or "change in shape". Metamorphosis has four stages, including the pupa and the adult stage:
Pupa
The caterpillar stops eating and becomes a pupa, also called a chrysalis. The chrysalis is soft at first, but hardens up to protect the developing butterfly. The caterpillar wiggles and twists until the chrysalis splits and falls off.
Adult
The butterfly breaks free from the chrysalis and spreads its wings. The butterfly has long legs, long antennae, compound eyes, and a mouth that sips nectar.
During metamorphosis, the caterpillar dissolves into a soup-like substance using enzymes triggered by hormones. Its tissues, limbs, organs, and imaginal discs then begin changing. For example, the imaginal discs move to their correct positions, and the caterpillar sprouts new colors, wings, long legs and antennae, and better, larger eyes.
The metamorphosis takes place over a few weeks or months. For example, after one week, the butterfly's digestive system is well on its way, and by day 16, the butterfly's legs, wings, eyes, and mouth are all present and in working order.

DARK MATTER|Explained by Neil deGrasse Tyson
Dark matter is composed of particles that do not absorb, reflect, or emit light, so they cannot be detected by observing electromagnetic radiation. Dark matter is material that cannot be seen directly. We know that dark matter exists because of the effect it has on objects that we can observe directly.

Baby elephant rushes to save drowning man
Elephants are considered to be the most intelligent species within the entire animal kingdom and one will surely believe this thing after watching an old video of an elephant who saved the life of a drowning man. In the video, a man is seen drowning as he helplessly flows along with a river gesturing for help. In the background, a herd of elephants is trying to cross the same river. Suddenly, a baby elephant rushes to save the man, wading into the water and offering him his trunk for support.

CUTEST SEA OTTER 🤩 CATCHING EGGS 🥚
Sea otters are part of the weasel family. They have webbed feet, water-repellent fur to keep them dry and warm, and nostrils and ears that close in the water.
FUR
Sea otters have the densest fur of any mammal, with up to one million hairs per square inch. This layer protects them from the cold of the Pacific Ocean.
TOOLS
Sea otters are one of the few marine mammals that use tools. For example, they can use rocks to open clams and abalone.
SWIMMING
Sea otters can hold their breath for over five minutes and use their hind flippers to paddle while sleeping on their backs.
DIET
Sea otters can eat up to 25% of their body weight in food each day. Their diet mainly consists of shelled creatures like clams and abalone.
SLEEP
Sea otters often sleep in groups, floating on their backs and wrapping themselves in kelp for anchor.
SOCIAL
Sea otters are a social species, with females and their pups often spending time together in one group, and males in another.
PREDATORS
Sea otters are preyed upon by sharks, killer whales, coyotes, brown bears, and bald eagles. When threatened, sea otters dive or play dead, or raise a forepaw to signal alarm.
