I can't, I lost my password for my media account when I changed my password. It's still using my old password I don't have anymore.

The monkey in that clip looks so determined.

It's a butterfly.

There located in South America.

Crows find out that if they drop nuts into traffic cars will run over them and crack them. This is normally impossible for crows.

Once the nuts are cracked they go to the pedestrian crossing and wait until the lights say they can move without getting ran over. Then they go and eat the nuts.

This is from your wiki link about that south american butterfly "They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae"

So they are butterflies, from the brush footed family, mind you, who look like a pretty version of a dragonfly, and they are in the nymph family . that's quite cool for them artistically and linguistically



I wonder how social are those butterflies?
