If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.

The music is a remix of the song Mere Dholna from the Bollywood movie Bhool Bhulaiyya, a remake of the classic Malayalam horror-comedy Manichitrathazhu. It's about a young bride that seemingly becomes possessed of Manjulika, a dancer of the ancient royal court whose tragic death has turned her into a vengeful spirit, one who evokes the wrath of the goddess Durga Kali. In the iconic scene that is repeated across remakes, the groom and his family discover his bride dancing in the dead of night in a manic, disassociative fugue, wearing a moth-eaten dancer's costume and a face smeared in kohl, ash and vermilion. She's hallucinating that she's Manjulika dancing carefree for the court with her lover. The upbeat music is deliberately incongruous with the pathos and creepiness of the scene in reality, especially as it crescendos in the bride's head to the moment when the king decapitates Manjulika's beloved in a fit of jealous rage.

This specific number is by the all-male troupe B Unique, performed for the Indian reality talent contest Hunabaarz. It's a modern fusion based on Bharatnatyam that turns up the creep factor by 200% and is basically a showcase of contortionism and synchronicity. One of the most perfectly choreographed and executed dances I have ever seen. Truly incredible!

"With genetic test results back from U.C. Davis Laboratories of toe-hair samples from each side of his body, I am excited to share that this sheep

🌟 IS INDEED a CHIMERA 🌟

His black mouflon side is a genetically different individual from his black gray side. The lab ran the test twice just to be sure!

Oh but wait, THERE IS MORE!

He is ALSO a she!

The black mouflon side is male.

The black gray side is female!

What I can tell you beyond these test results, is that this beautiful creature successfully bred four solid patterned ewes this winter that produced a total of 9 lambs, of which all were either solid pattern or mouflon pattern; 5 rams and 4 ewes. "

Coenobita brevimanus Dana, 1852

Coenobita brevimanus, the purple land hermit crab, is one of the four land hermit crab species in Taiwan(Other 3 are C. rugosus, C. cavipes and C. violascens. These 4 plus the coconut crab are all the terrestrial hermit crabs distributed in Taiwan.) These are fully terrestrial crustaceans, not needing to enter bodies of water except when releasing eggs. Outside of breeding season when the females need to make their migration down to the shores, they spend their time in coastal forests. Coenobita brevimanus is the second biggest terrestrial hermit crab in Taiwan, only smaller than the absolute giant that is the coconut crab. They come in a huge variation of colors, from grey to red to purple. They can be identified by their tubular shaped eyestalks as no other Coenobita species in Taiwan possess this trait. The genus is like the epitome of coastal forest animals, Coenobita species are distributed in tropical islands of all three oceans with most found in the indo-pacific. In Taiwan, besides Coenobita rugosus, the remaining Coenobita species are distributed around the south and east coast of the island where it's always HOT and SUNNY and CORAL SAND.
