3. Photos and videos have been released of a vibrant, almost neon-orange fish, on social media.
The fish was caught by Joshua Chrenko in Newaygo, and he's a big fan of small-mouth bass. He says while fishing at his family cottage on the Muskegon River, this is what he reeled in; a vibrant orange smallmouth bass.
The fish is believed to have a condition that turns skin pigments a yellowish hue.
4. The Monarch Butterfly is now an endangered species.
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature just added the insect to its list of endangered species.
They say the North American Population has fallen anywhere from 22 to 72 percent over the last ten years.
Monarch butterflies have the furthest known migration of any insect, with many traveling from Mexico to Canada and back every year.
Experts say their numbers have been falling for a while, and it's not likely from one single cause. The United States hasn't yet listed Monarch Butterflies on their own endangered species list.
5. The brand Velveeta is known for putting its spin on mac 'n cheese, but now it's out with a new product you can drink.
