...Red pandas can be easily identified by their unique ruddy coat color, which acts like camouflage within the canopy of fir trees where branches are covered with clumps of reddish-brown moss and white lichens. They have large, round heads and short snouts with big, pointed ears. Their faces are white with reddish-brown “tear” marks that extend from the eyes to the corner of the mouth. These markings could have evolved to help keep the sun out of their eyes. Their tails are marked with alternating red and buff rings. Red pandas have a soft, dense woolly undercoat covered by long, coarse guard hairs. Long, bushy tails help these arboreal animals maintain balance and protect them from harsh cold and winds. Dense fur completely covers their feet which have five, widely separated toes and semi-retractable claws....

...Evidence of False Thumb Evolution Roughly 75% of all the types of mammals that have ever lived are now extinct. We tend to think of extant organisms as all there is. We know dinosaurs once lived and are now extinct. An article explored the routes of diversification taken by early mammals, only those lineages in the far right based on figure 1, in Cenozoic Era have survived to the modern day. Each era group showed how common it was in various time period. The multituberculates were very common until the early Paleocene. In history, they were the dominant group of mammals, existing in the largest numbers for the longest time and are now extinct. Their generations, the spalacotheriods and eutriconodonts, were successful in the Early Creataceous but its population declined by the end of that Period. At the root of the tree showed (figure 1) the groups of mammaliaforms, not true mammals, but have some similarities. This group first appeared in the Jurassic era and didn’t survive the Cretaceous era. The Cretaceous ended with a global extinction that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs, and several stem-mammals suffered the same fate. Others lingered into the Paleocene Epoch only to become extinct, possibly outcompeted in the rapid radiation of the therians. We tend to think of extinct groups as more “primitive” than extant groups, but the mammals radiated rapidly and many niches occupied today were occupied by now-extinct forms in the past. In the phylogentic tree some show niches available...

...been major threats to the survival of wild pandas. In the 1950s, a panda’s habitat was estimated to cover around 5.1 million hectares. Logging over the next few decades peaked in the early 1990s, shrinking the habitat to 1.3 million hectares. It wasn’t until a 1998 government ban on logging in panda ranges and a new State Natural Forest Protection Project that habitat loss began to slow. Today, about 5.7 million acres (2.3 million hectares) of panda habitat are known to exist. The increase is attributed to real forest re-growth, the discovery of new areas where pandas live, as well as scientific improvements in measuring habitat size. Protected areas that exist now are not providing adequate protection of healthy panda populations. Nature reserves contain less than half (1 million hectares) of known panda habitat. That means more than half the world’s wild pandas aren’t protected. More than 300,000 people live within panda ranges, putting unprecedented pressure on the wild panda population. Climate change also threatens remaining panda habitat, bringing new weather patterns that could significantly affect future availability of shelter and food. Fragmented forest cover limits the panda’s range and could have a devastating impact on the overall population.

...Guanlin Situ EWS 301.02 Prof Banh 5-14-2013 The Westernized Panda As the melting pot, “the United States has the largest ethnic Chinese population outside Asia” (Zhou 43). When people choose to step in the melting pot, their original identities will be blurred in some ways, languages, daily habits, religions, and the most important element, which is food. Panda Express, a fast casual restaurant serving American Chinese cuisine, is one of the most popular places that serving orange chicken. The company was founded in 1983 by Andrew Cherng, Peggy Cherng and Ming Tsai Cherng. It is also the largest chain of Asian fast food restaurants in the United States. As of year 2011, the company has approximately 1500 restaurants covering 42 states and Puerto Rico. To a sector that was used to be dominated by American fast food, burgers and fried chicken, the invention of Panda Express found a good market niche. The success of the company relies heavily on its unique concept, quick-service Chinese restaurant, and its locations, shopping mall food courts, supermarkets, key intersections, college campus, airports and casinos (Panda Management Company, Inc. History). Dishes featured in Panda Express are originated from different regions of China. Usually, adjustments have to be made in order to allow the dishes to be more acceptable by Americans. For example, cuisines from Hunan and Sichuan are usually “spicy and oily, often featuring a sophisticated blend of intense flavors” (Coe...

...is usually found in the South American Andes. Most cytological and molecular evidence points towards the fact that the Spectacled bear diverged from the genus Ursus (O’Brien et al., 1985). The other species that was the focus of this lab was the giant panda. Over the years, scientists have started to link the giant panda being more closely related to the red panda than the bears, but through the use of comparative anatomical work and protein evolution, scientists have decided that the giant panda should be placed in its own subfamily (McLellan,...

...Animals for Rent In our society today, with all our advancements and breakthroughs, life in the 21st century is noticeably better than before. However, some problems will never go away, like war and death. Aside from that, a problem which has recently plagued our society is the practice of animals-for-rent. Animals, like humans, have their own habitats, and they live in what we collectively call the wild. Some humans have decided to pull these animals out of their homes and rent them for profit through the inhumane practice of animals-for-rent. These ignorant people are very cruel; they treat the animals as objects that only serve as entertainment to the public in the form of rental books or DVDs (Animal Aid, 2007). This unsafe and exploitative practice has gradually weakened animal rights and rips deeply into human morality and conscience. It is often the case that the people involve in this practice, this so-called exotic pet markets, give no regards to the survival of these animals, which are often on the endangered list. According to Richard Farinato (in The Humane Society of the United States, www.hsus.org), wild and exotic animals are favorable vectors for diseases and parasites, often the outbreak of diseases cause the death of a mass of animals. If this situation is continue without any resolution, these animals might become extinct. Because there are no concerns to the needs of the animals, the livelihood will decrease rapidly, and eventually they might not be...

...Camels Camels are herbivores; they eat desert vegetation, such as grasses, herbs, and leaves. How do camels adapt to their environment? Camels have many adaptations that allow them to live successfully in desert conditions. Deserts are hot and dry. Winds blow sand all around, so a camel has long eyelashes. It has nostrils that can open and close. Why do camels have long eyelashes? The long eyelashes keep sand out of the camel's eyes. Thick eyebrows shield the eyes from the desert sun. Why does a camel have nostrils which can close? A camels nostrils can close so it doesn't get sand up its nose. Other Adaptations: 1. A camel can go a week or more without water, and they can last for several months without food. They can drink up to 32 gallons (46 litres) of water at one drinking session! 2. Camels store fat in the hump, not water. The fat can be metabolised for energy. 3. Unlike most mammals, a healthy camel's body temperature fluctuates (changes) throughout the day from 34°C to 41.7°C (93°F-107°F.) This allows the camel to conserve water by not sweating as the environmental temperature rises. 4. Camels feet are wide so they can walk on sand more easily. Their huge feet help them to walk on sand without sinking into it. 5. Camels have thick lips so they can eat the prickly desert plants with out feeling pain. 6. The colour of their bodies helps them to blend into their environment. 7. Camel's ears are covered with hair, even on the inside. The hair helps keep...

...Case Summary Panda has been the low – cost producer of traditional BLUE and BLACK pens. Profit margins were over 20% of sales. Five years earlier, RED pens had been introduced and were sold at 3% premium. Last year, PURPLE pens were sold at 10% premium. RED and PURPLE pens seem more profitable than BLUE and BLACK but overall profitability is down. Jane Mendez was disappointed with the financial results. Jeffrey Donald, the manufacturing manager, said life was simpler when they just produced BLUE and BLACK pens. Difficulties started arising when they started RED pens. They needed to stop production, empty the vats, clean out all remnants of the previous color and start production of red ink. Direct labor cost is 300%, while a few years back it was only 200%. Activity-Based Costing: * Indirect labor * 50% of the indirect labor costs are caused by Production run * 40% of the indirect labor cost were caused by the physical change from one color to another called setup costs * 10% of the time was used to an activity Parts Administration (Book keeping) * Computer Expenses * 20% allocated to support activities (Parts admin.) * 80% of computer resources were used to produce batches and are closely related to handling of production batches ACA No. 3. Eliminate RED and PURPLE pens in the production and go back to the original product line. (use traditional costing only) PROS: * No drastic changes needed since they are...
