The scientific-classification Elephas maximus maximus comes to us from Cal Linnaeus (Mon., May 23, 1707-Sat., Jan. 10, 1778).

The 10th edition of Systema Naturae ("A General System of Nature"), deemed as published Sun., Jan. 1, 1758, domiciles the afore-designated genus-specied-subspecied name.

Shirley Temple had, as Shirley Temple Black, the U.S. Ambassadorship to Czechoslovakia from Wed., Aug. 23, 1989 to Sun., Jul 12, 1992.

Czechoslovakia had, and the Czech Republic has still, a Mandarin Chinese-speaking community.

The phenomenal Shirley-Temple discipline, intelligence, memory and practice served her well if she spoke with Mandarin-Chinese speakers during her appointment.

Why wouldn't she?

Author Gabby Dawnay and illustrator Margaux Samson Abadie collaborated on Wild languages of Mother Nature for Wide Eyed Editions Tuesday, May 7, 2024.

Not one of their 48 natural-world communicators included the Devils Hole pupfish.

And yet wouldn't it be wonderfully, wondrously wonderful to watch Devils Hole pupfishes wending their way through the whereabouts of the best-looking, the best-smelling, the best-tasting algae, beetles, diatoms, small invertebrates and snails?

Not one of their 48 natural-world communicators included the giant panda.

Wouldn't it be wonderfully, wondrously wonderful to watch green ringtail possums wending their way through the whereabouts of the best-looking, the best-smelling, the best-tasting bamboo (Bambuseae tribe) and water?

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 candlenuts (Aleurites rockinghamensis); plentiful (Ficus copiosa) and white sandpaper (Ficus fraseri) figs; rose tamarinds (Arytera divaricate)?

Not one of their 48 natural-world communicators included the Vietnamese civet.

Wouldn't it be wonderfully, wondrously wonderful to watch Vietnamese civets wending their way through the whereabouts of the best-looking, best-smelling, best-tasting plantation fruits, shelter and water?

The below-described, feline-like mongoose-taxonomy deployment does not deal with the fact that "Civets favor what foxes, mongooses, and weasels do not: fruits. Throughout Southeast Asia and within Vietnam therefore, they find plantation fruits, shelter, and water irresistible. They ingest coffee berries. Civets leave behind trails of expelled pits whose beans grind into Trung Nguyên's gourmet brews."

The below-considered, feline-like mongoose-taxonomy configuration concerns itself otherwise than with the culinary characteristic that "Regarding diets, civets never can be likened to foxes, mongooses, or weasels. They count among the world’s carnivores (“meat-eaters”). They nevertheless express omnivorous (“everything-eating”) tendencies."

The summary statement and the introductory section respectively advise us that "Vietnam's fox and weasel coffees belong on the list of the world’s animal drinks. They have nothing to do with foxes or weasels. They instead use civet-ingested coffee beans."

And yet "Southeast Asia’s diverse languages generally agree in equating civets with foxes (Vulpes) or weasels (Mustela). Civets appear fox-like because of bushy, long tails and weasel-like because of diminutive, fleet limbs. They are considered feliform (“cat-like”), not caniform (“dog-like”). Scientists taxonomically associate civets with feline-like mongooses (Herpestes)."

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

Your drinks guideline worked wonderfully, what with apple juice and sparkling water with all the wonderful Veronica-reciped Irish food!

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

What I go with is what gets first place.

What I keep away from kindles last place, with anything between the two likewise what I keep away from.

Drinks are a highly personal choice. I only drink sparkling. My own family do not drink alcohol. Fruit juices for them.
Your choice.
Apple drinks would be good.

For those asking about other-hemispheric celestial "pearls," yes, I agree that three sequels are in order.

One sequel could be the northern skies, even as the other two sequels could be the eastern and the western skies.

And yes, it might make the most sense to muster them in the above-mentioned order -- tf only authors Willasch and Slotegraaf -- they're the masters of such masterpieces as this marvelous, miraculous publication -- make the time to match and mix hemispheres and their marvels.

Thank you for your comments below in answer to my previous observations and questions.

It comes to four, possibly five, all of whom love Irish food (and particularly the food made from your delicious recipes ;-D).

Freezing is a great idea even as there is no such thing as leftovers thus far from Veronica-reciped meals.

What should I serve for drinks?

Frederick Nutter Chasen (Tue., Aug. 25, 1896-Fri., Feb. 13, 1942) and Cecil Boden Kloss (Wed., Mar 28, 1877-Fri., Aug. 19, 1949) added the subspecied-name sipora to the genus-specied name Hemigalus derbyanus, for the three-name, the three-word name Hemigalus derbyanus sipora in the year 1927.
