Interesting name...I've only seen that animal called a "red panda" or a "lesser panda" in English.
Regardless, they're one of my favorite animals--I love their color scheme.

We were learning some -er verbs in French once and when the Madame got to ?tter, remove, she couldn't think of any English cognates or easy ways to remember it. Then some silly kid in my class said "remove the otter". I've remembered it that way ever since.

and for most English speakers, "teacher" isn't the first thing to pop into their heads when they read "Madame"...
< Cev> My people we use cars. I come from a very proud car culture-- every part of the car is used, nothing goes to waste. When my people first saw the car, generations ago, we called it šuŋka wakaŋ-- meaning "automated mobile".
