Opata Language
Ópata (also Tegüima, Teguima, Tehuima, Tehui, Jova, Joval, Tonichi, Sonori and Ure; ) is either of two closely related Uto-Aztecan languages, ''Teguima'' and '' Eudeve'', spoken by the Opata people of northern central Sonora in Mexico and Southeast of Arizona in the United States. It was believed to be dead already in 1930, and Carl Sofus Lumholtz reported the Opata to have become "Mexicanized" and lost their language and customs already when traveling through Sonora in the 1890s. Buckingham Smith translated ''Grammatical Sketch of the Heve Language'' from an unpublished Spanish manuscript and it was published in 1861. In a 1993 survey by the Instituto Nacional Indigenista, 15 people in the Mexican Federal District self-identified as speakers of Ópata. This may not mean, however, that the language was actually living, since linguistic nomenclature in Mexico is notoriously fuzzy. Sometimes Eudeve is called Opata, a term which should be restricted to Teguima. ''Eudeve'' (which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Procyon (genus)
''Procyon'' is a genus of nocturnal mammals comprising three species commonly known as raccoons in the family Procyonidae. The most familiar species, the common raccoon (''P. lotor''), is often known simply as "the" raccoon, as the two other raccoon species in the genus are native only to the tropics and are less well known. Genetic studies have shown that the closest relatives of raccoons are the ring-tailed cats and cacomistles of genus '' Bassariscus'', from which they diverged about 10 million years ago. General attributes Raccoons are unusual, for their thumbs (though not opposable) enable them to open many closed containers (such as garbage cans and doors). They are omnivores with a reputation for being clever and mischievous; their intelligence and dexterity equip them to survive in a wide range of environments and are one of the few medium-to-large-sized animals that have enlarged their range since human encroachment began (another is the coyote).
