“An international team of archaeologists discovered what’s thought to be the world’s oldest leather shoe in a cave in Armenia.

“Among the standouts from 2010: the six-foot-long, yellow-and-black Northern Sierra Madre Forest Monitor Lizard, a timid relative of the Komodo dragon that eats fruit and lives in treetops in the Philippines, and the Caquetá titi (above), a cat-size, red-bearded monkey found in the jungles of Colombia. Unlike most monkeys, the titi mates for life and purrs like a kitten when cuddling,” the article reads.
