The five-millimetre long 'Anophthalmus hitleri' (pictured left) is a species of blind cave beetle that is found in around just 15 humid caves in Slovenia. There has long been controversy over its title, with many scientists appalled that it still shares a name with Hitler - one of history's greatest monsters. Its name was assigned to it even after the leader's ruthless racist actions prior to the Second World War, including the Night of the Long Knives in 1934 and the Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935 - not to mention the Holocaust that was still to come. But after another attempt to change the name, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) has determined that it is out of the question.

After enjoying a Maldives holiday together in January, Wolfgang Porsche, 79, is reported to have joined 59-year-old Princess Gabriele of Leiningen (pictured). According to people close to the couple, it appeared earlier this week that the car tycoon had requested divorce from his wife Claudia (trio pictured together bottom-right), 74, after she was diagnosed with dementia two years ago. Wolfgang is just one of many eyebrow raising acquaintances Gabriele has been associated with over the years throughout her colorful life as the billionaire and former princess are expected to spend more time together. Gabriele, also known as Princess Inaara Aga Khan, was once a UNESCO advisor on women's equality, converted to Islam before her husband's marriage to a prince, and had to sell off her jewelry collection after their decade-long divorce battle. Gabriele's colorful life is chronicled here by MailOnline.

Wolfgang Porsche, 79, had trouble living with his wife Claudia, 74, after being diagnosed with dementia two years ago, according to people close to him.

And now, Porsche has welcomed Gabriela, the 59-year-old Gabriela - also known as Inaara Aga Khan, who is now his girlfriend. According to Austrian media, the former model's close circle of friends told Austrian media that the couple's decision to live together came as a result of their desire to avoid spending time apart.
