Sides Face: The face, sides, legs, and underparts of both species are black, but the back is smoky gray in G. vittatus and yellowish gray in G. cuja; a white stripe across the forehead and down the sides of the neck separates the two body colors. Orisons are nocturnal and typically live in forests and woodlands; they are also found in modified rural habitats. They are mainly carnivorous but also eat fruit and honey. They live alone or in pairs and sometimes in small family groups. Females bear litters of two to four young. Grisons can be tamed and have been used to capture chinchillas and to destroy rats.
RECTANGULAR-SHAPED containers present planting challenges similar to those offered by window-boxes. The difference in siting affects the angle at which they are viewed: some stand at ground level, some are raised on legs and others are set on or against walls.
Containers raised on walls or legs offer an opportunity to use trailing plants, which are best seen from the sides. Conversely, where containers are mainly seen from above, choose plants with bright faces that peer upward. For those at ground level, low-growing herbaceous perennials create attractive features.
Most containers have a face side from which they are mainly viewed, but those on the tops of low walls may be viewed from both sides. Always ensure that the most noticeable sides are well-clothed with plants; if bare-especially during mid-summer, when plants should be drenching troughs in color-they look unattractive and give an air of neglect.
In their upper reaches, the more resistant bands of rock form waterfalls and rapids in the narrower parts of the valley. If the rocks are lying horizontally, the topography developed is characterized by flat-topped hills [7]. But if the beds are tilted, scarpland topography is produced, in which the more resistant layers form cuestas whose steeper sides face up the inclination (dip) of the rocks and vales are worn out on the outcrop (strike) of the softer beds [8]. The trel-lised drainage pattern may undergo minor changes.A particular river, perhaps because it has more powerful springs at its source, or greater runoff from the valley sides, or a shorter course to the sea, may cut down the level of its valley Floor more quickly than its neighbour and eventually capture it [11].
