Brush-tailed Phascogale
The brush-tailed phascogale (''Phascogale tapoatafa''), also known by its Australian native name tuan, the common wambenger, the black-tailed mousesack or the black-tailed phascogale, is a rat-sized arboreal carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae, characterized by a tuft of black silky hairs on the terminal portion of its tail. Males of this species do not live past the age of one, as they die after reproducing. Taxonomy The brush-tailed phascogale was first described by Friedrich Meyer in 1793; George Shaw published a revised description in 1800. For some time it was considered a member of the opossum genus ''Didelphis'', but this ended in 1844 when Coenraad Jacob Temminck erected the genus '' Phascogale''. The species is closely related to the red-tailed phascogale (''P. calura''). Its scientific name, ''tapoatafa'', is a reference to an indigenous Australian name for the species. It has sometimes been known as ''Phascogale penicillata'', referring to its brushed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tuan Tuan And Yuan Yuan
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were two giant pandas that were gifted by the People's Republic of China (PRC, mainland China) to the Republic of China (ROC, Taiwan) in 2008 as part of a cultural exchange program. The idea was first proposed in 2005, but the previous ROC administration in Taipei had initially refused to accept the pandas. After elections that resulted in a change of president and the government in 2008, the ROC government accepted the pandas, and they arrived on December 23, 2008. One of the most significant positive cross-strait relations in the early 21st century, the two names were selected by a vote in the PRC and their combination, Tuan Yuan, means "reunion" () in the Chinese language. The pandas are housed at Taipei Zoo and have been exhibited to the public since the 2009 Chinese New Year. One of the pandas, Tuan Tuan, died in November 2022. Birth Tuan Tuan, male, was born to Hua Mei on September 1, 2004, and was assigned as no. 19 in the Wolong National Nature ...

Malaysian Names
Personal names in Malaysia vary greatly according to ethno-cultural group. Personal names are, to a certain degree, regulated by the national registration department, especially since the introduction of the National Registration Identity Card (NRIC). The Malaysian Chinese are generally the only major ethnic group in Malaysia to use family names, though some Malay families use surnames as well. Most other groups, including the ethnic Malays, Orang Asli and the Bumiputera of Sabah and Sarawak, generally share a naming custom that includes the use of a personal name followed by a patronym name. Malay names Traditional Malay names were taken from one of a number of languages, or even a combination of two or more elements from these languages: * Malay such as Intan, Melati, Kiambang or Tuah * Khmer, Siamese or Cham such as Tam, Som or Lai * Javanese such as Ratnasari, Joyo or Kesuma * Sanskrit or Pali such as Wira, Darma or Wati Malay names are not to be confused with Malaysian ...
