For those asking about giant-panda sleep patterns, online information describes them as doing sleep duty in 2- to 4-hour divisions.

Giant pandas perhaps get daily sleep of 6 to 12 hours even as they get up for meal hours and go back to sleep between those hours.

Update: Zazzle has a slight delay in getting new products to their marketplace. I had two more posters then originally shown but filled out the modules hoping they would populate as soon as the products became active. They did! So, if you are adding Zazzle to your articles, you can add the module and allow it to populate as soon as the products clear.

I have no idea. Years ago, one of the other grad students who shared an office with me, and I went to the same company. His engineering unit was changed resulting in him transferring to marketing, and he showed up in the same building where my engineering office was. He told me he could not wear green because the company said it was associated with sneaky, and people perceive it that way. I still remember it.

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Are all gourds alike or are some varieties more amenable to appetites than others?

Your wizzley and your comments, as usually, are educational, helpful, informative, practical, timeless and timely!

Is green as a "sneaky" color for a "sneaky" character invoked only for sales people or for other personalities and professions?

Peaches and grapes are fruits good for win making and juicing. Pomegranates are a good dessert food. But gourds are great in salads. Obviously there might be other uses.

Plants other than those considered in the comment box below concern green ringtail possums.

For example, green ringtail possums delight in flame kurrajong (Brachychiton acerifolius).

So wouldn't it be wonderfully, wondrously wonderful to watch green ringtail possums wending their way through the whereabouts of the best-looking, best-smelling, best-tasting flame kurrajong?

The genus-specied-subspecied name Paguma larvata grayi carries the subspecies name grayi for John Edward Gray (Wed., Feb. 12, 1800-Sun., Mar 7, 1875).

For those asking about the genus Prionodon, that classification comes from Thomas Horsfield (Wed., May 12, 1773-Sun., July 24, 1859).

Thomas Horsfield also gave us the genus-specied-subspecied name gracilis guarded below.

Thomas Horsfield (Wed., May 12, 1773-Sun., July 24, 1859), in the year 1822, classified the third subspecies as Prionodon linsang gracilis.

The last, third name in that genus-specied-subspecied name comes from the Latin adjective gracilis (Anglicized as "lean, meager, scanty, simple, slender, slim, thin, unadorned").

I read comments from posters on Amazon. The posters for younger children are best when very colorful, using the entire pallet of colors. Calculus is not generally for younger children, so the information must be conveyed and not necessarily be so colorful. I think about the age of the typical audience member, which sometimes spans several age groups.

I also had a problem with old days mimeographs, since I had a student with a disability who had an issue with purple, so his exams had to be made differently. Purple is a good color to avoid.

There are also connotations. Red connotates anger. Small children see a favorite color, not the connotation, but older users could be offended. In this setting it is not important, but a friend was not allowed to wear green since he was in sales and the color is associated with being sneaky.

Bold colors also copy into the same or very close shade. In fact, a paper after having yellow highlighter used on it produced what looks like a heavily redacted document.

I am finding color avoidance is more often behind the color choice.

Freshwater crustaceans (such hard-body surfaces as bark, crusts, rinds, scabs, shells, Latin crusta; belonging to, the nature of, Latin -acea) as Devils-Hole pupfish prey accuratize the culinary, dietary, gastronomic account below.

The English translation of the French original in the comment box below is as follows:
"1. The Indian elephant (*Elephas indicus*). It has an elongated skull, a concave forehead, and molar teeth with crowns marked by undulating transverse bands. It appears to grow larger and be more docile than the African elephant. Its tusks grow more slowly and do not become as large. Its ears are much smaller. It is possible that the elephants of Africa's east coast belong to the same species."

The computer crashed afore I communicated another component of my comment below.

The last line on page 148 and the first six lines on page 149 detail the Cuvier description as follows:
"1. L’éléphant des Indes. (Elephas indicus.) Qui a le crâne alongé, le front concave, et les dents molaires marquées sur leur couronne de rubans transverses ondoyans. Il paroît qu'il devient plus grand et qu'il est plus docile que celui d'Afrique. Ses défenses poussent moins vite, et deviennent moins grosses. Ses oreilles sont beaucoup plus petites. Il se pourroit que les éléphans de la côte orientale d'Afrique fussent de la même espèce."

The scientific-classification Elephas maximus indicus derives from Georges Cuvier (Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, baron Cuvier; Wed., Aug. 23, 1769-Sun., May 13, 1832) in the year 1798.

We encounter the Cuvier explanation in his article Elephas indicus on pages 148-149 of Tableau elementaire de l'histoire naturelle des animaux ("Elementary table of the natural history of animals").
