Since my early days (when still a child and "being an Indian" with those ra= =3D=0D ccoon tails around my head) I felt that those cute animals=20 were bears! In German, they're also called "Waschb=E4ren" (washbears)! So, = do=3D=0D I feel they're like bears because of their German=20 name?? Is this the "lokshe-effect"? .aulun.
