brown study
by Word of the Day Editors
Kara JeanNot what I would have assumed brown study to mean...
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 03, 2013 is:
brown study \BROWN-STUD-ee\ noun
: a state of serious absorption or abstraction
Examples:
"I fell into a brown study as I walked on, and a voice at my side made me start." From Charles Dickens's 1850 novel David Copperfield
"He was staring fixedly ahead, lost in a brown study, the pupils of his eyes slightly blurred." From Georgette Heyer 's 1958 novel Venetia
Did you know?
"Lack of company will soon lead a man into a brown study." Whether or not it's true, that 1532 admonition is the first known example that shows the "reverie" sense of "study" combined with "brown" (in the old and now rare sense of "gloomy"). Today, not all brown studies are "gloomy"some are merely abstractedbut not, we hope, to the extent that provoked the editors of an encyclopedia of the 1950s to call it "a state nearly related to hypnosis and characterized by the ... arrest of bodily movement."

Sneak a Peek at Cotswald Wildlife Park's Patagonian Mara
by Andrew Bleiman
Kara JeanLook at these freaky dudes.
Cotswald Wildlife Park welcomed two newborn Patagonian Mara on August 6. They are quite shy and speedy, but zoo staff managed to snap a few pictures of the little ones out and about. They share an enclosure with two young Capybara next to the Giant Anteaters.
The species, also known as the Patagonian Hare, is the closest relative of the Guinea Pig. They are endemic to Patagonia, meaning that they originate from that area and are found nowhere else in the world. These rabbit-like rodents feed on plants throughout the day and are excellent runners. Pairs will mate for life, and the male will guard the female from potential predators.

Patagonian Mara are listed as Near Threatened on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Their preferred habitat are lowland forests and bush, which are rapidly being converted for agricultural use. According to the IUCN, main threats to the Mara are habitat loss, competition with grazing livestock and hunting for their skins.
