You’ll find plenty of interesting creatures if you march through a Florida swamp. There’s alligators and crocodiles of course, as well as various species of snakes and other creepy-crawlies, but one animal in particular has eluded scientists for a while. It’s a species of giant salamander that can grow up to two feet in length, and researchers only just now documented its existence.

The salamander, which goes by the scientific name Siren reticulata (meaning “reticulated siren”) is a species of giant salamander that sports a unique leopard-like pattern of spots along its body. With no hind legs at all, its body is more like an eel than anything else, and its massive external gills give its head a frilly appearance.

I have an Apple Watch Series 4 and I love it. The display is awesome and the integration with the iPhone is fantastic. But there’s another smartwatch I’ve been using off and on for about a year now called the Amazfit Bip Smartwatch by Huami, and I often recommend it to people over the Apple Watch for four main reasons. First, it works with Android and the Apple Watch obviously isn’t an option for people with Android phones. Second, it supports sleep tracking and all-day heart rate tracking, which the Apple Watch does not. Third, it lasts for up to a whopping 30 days on a single charge — you’re lucky if you get 18 hours out of an Apple Watch. And finally, it costs just $80 instead of hundreds or even $1,000+.

Amazfit Bip Smartwatch by Huami with All-Day Heart Rate and Activity Tracking, Sleep Monitoring…: $79.99

Here’s what you need to know from the product page:

• Look as Good as You Feel: With a range of colors and options, the Bip is designed to be worn as an extension of your personal style. Weighing only 1.1oz (32g), and with a bright, transflective always-on 1.28″ display, the Bip can be worn all day
• Go the Distance: Use the Amazfit Bip for up to 30 days on a single 2.5-hour charge.
• Don’t Miss a Beat: Optical heart rate monitoring and built-in GPS allow you to accurately track in real-time your steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, and quality of sleep. Special sport modes (running, treadmill, cycling and walking) give you even more detailed insights into your most frequent activities.
• Be in the Know: The perfect companion to keep you organized and productive all day long. Receive one-way notifications for emails, SMS messages, and incoming phone calls (prompting you to take action on your smartphone), as well as alerts for Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Snap, Slack, weather forecasts, and other mobile apps
• Satisfaction Guaranteed: Buy with confidence. Amazfit offers a 30-day refund policy, and 12-month new replacement warranty.

Marvel has three movies set to launch next year, including Captain Marvel (March), Avengers 4 (May), and Spider-Man: Far From Home (July), so marketing for these movies has already started. We saw the second trailer for Captain Marvel on Monday, and we should have the first Avengers 4 and Spider-Man trailers out on Friday or Saturday, according to recent rumors. But marketing these films without spoiling the most important one of the three will be difficult, a new report notes, and Sony is already hiding potential Avengers 4 spoilers from Spider-Man 2 marketing.

Following what was one of the most drastic (and unsurprising) collapses in recent memory, MoviePass has a plan. In fact, as part of its attempt to return to relevance in 2019, the movie subscription service will debut three new, slightly more expensive plans that it feels are both of interest to consumers and sustainable for business.

The trouble started when MoviePass lowered the price for its “unlimited” plan down to $9.99 a month. This allowed subscribers to see a movie a day for less than what it costs to buy a single ticket in most markets. Millions signed up, but the plan just wasn’t viable. After a series of disasters, MoviePass dumped its unlimited plan and moved everyone over to a $9.95 a month plan that offers subscribers just three movies a month.
