Pampas deer - The World's Most Polymorphic Mammal

The Pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) is known as the world's most polymorphic mammal. Their hide consists of tan fur that is lighter on the insides of their legs and their undersides. They have white patches under their throats and on their lips, and their coats do not change with the seasons.They have bushy, short tails and much like a white-tailed deer their tail is lifted when they run, thus revealing a white patch.

There are three subspecies of Pampas deer.
1. O.b. bezoarticus - dwell in central and eastern Brazil, south of the Amazon and into Uruguay, and is pale red-brown in color.
2. O.b. leucogaster - live in the southwest region of Brazil to the southeast section of Bolivia, Paraguay, and Northern Argentina and are a tawny-brown color.
3. O.b. celer - live in the southern section of Argentina and are a bay color. This is an endangered species and the most rare Pampas deer.

Females are lighter, normally weighing around 33.5 kg or approximately 74 pounds, while males weigh in at an average of 40 kg or 88 pounds. Pampas deer usually have a body length of 110-140 cm, or 43 to 55 inches, and have a shoulder height of about 70-75 cm, or about 27 to 29 inches. Males have antlers while the females have whorls that look like mini-antlers stubs. The males antlers upper prong is divided, but the front main prong is just one solid piece. Males also have a special gland in their back hooves that secretes a smell that can be detected up to 1.5 km or almost one mile.

The Pampas deer is currently classified as a "near threatened" species, meaning they could have the potential of becoming endangered in the future, but as of now there are enough of them that they do not qualify as a threatened species.

Their diet usually consists of herbs, shrubs, and new green growth. They don't consume as much grass as they do browse, which are twigs, leaves, and shoots, and forbs, which are flowering big-leafed plants that have soft stems. They will usually migrate to the where the source of food is the greatest. While the Pampas deers living in Argentina and Uruguay no longer have to worry about predators, those living in Brazil must still be wary of cougars.

Read Emails in a Unified Inbox with Mozilla Thunderbird

It was the second of its kind. So, the mobile phone network launched in West Germany on Friday, January 14, 1972, was called "B-Netz" ("B-Net"). It replaced "A-Netz" (the first of that kind).
One quirk in particular might have suggested "Beta" for 'B', though, to its users — and people trying to call them: to reach a B-Netz customer, one had to use their number and the area code — of wherever the mobile phone was at the time.
You did not know? All left to do was trying one area code after the other.
In Mozilla Thunderbird (not "Beta"), you need not try one inbox after the other to see all new mail; you can get it all collected in one convenient folder:
›› Don't want to go looking up the latest messages in separate folders, one for each email account? You can set up Mozilla Thunderbird to collect messages from all you accounts' inboxes, sent, spam and more folders in unified views (while the individual folders are still around, of course).


How to Mark a Message as Junk in Outlook.com

"Cold or hot, Spam hits the spot."
Does this Hormel advertising claim from the 1930s (and 40s) ring true, too, in front of your computer and email program with (lowercase) spam hitting your sour spot no matter the temperature outside or in-? Outlook.com has a spot and button for you to hit (and a keyboard shortcut to boot):
›› Spam in your Outlook.com inbox? Mark it as junk easily and have the message removed instantly. The spam filter will be trained to recognize similar mail, too.


How to Remove the Facebook Folder from IncrediMail

No "Caps Lock" is found above "Caps" next to the "A" key on the Space Cadet keyboard. Yes, "Caps" is labeled "Shift", but that's not it alone.
On the 1970s', perhaps, most extravagant keyboard, that left "Caps Lock" space is occupied by the "RUB OUT" key, which worked much like "Backspace" does still.
Now, want to hit the "RUB OUT" key, metaphorically, on the Facebook folder on your IncrediMail screen?
›› If you have no need for the "Facebook" folder in IncrediMail, you can remove it.


From the Archives: Create and Use Email Templates in Outlook
A reasonable bribe is all it takes for me to read your mail. I'm drowned in email after all, and time is money — money of a fancied currency that translates scarce email time into scarce tokens. You can trade these tokens with coworkers and attach them to emails to underscore their importance. Everybody's email efficiency improves, the story goes.
Tokens or not, you can invest in a meaningful Subject line to underscore your email's importance and have it read; tokens or not, you can invest in Outlook message templates to increase your email writing efficiency:
›› Are you composing similar messages again and again? Here's how to save one such message as a template now in Outlook and write that much faster—again and again—in the future.
