Bocourt's tree frog ("Dryophytes bocourti") is a frog that lives in Guatemala. Scientists have seen it between 1300 and 1536 meters above sea level in Baja Verapaz and Alta Verapaz.
This frog lives in marshes and cloud forests. Scientists have found this frog in meadows full of water with no trees in them.
The adult male frog is 2.6 to 3.5 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 2.9 to 3.8 cm long. Female frogs have smooth skin on their backs, and male frogs are not smooth. This frog has disks for climbing on every toe on all four feet.
This frog is in danger of dying out because human beings change the places where it lives by cutting down trees, because humans let cows and other animals eat grass where the frog lives, because human beings build farms where the frog lives, and because of disease. Scientists think the fungal disease chytridiomycosis can kill this frog. |

en_simple_wiki_v0-0001.json.gz:2944345 | Walkout basement
A walkout basement, lower ground floor, daylight basement, English basement or terrace level is a storey that is partially underground and has a door from that level directly to the outside. Usually, 50% to 70% of the level is above ground and thus isn't a basement in the strictest sense of the word. Typical locations where such basements are built included steeply sloping lots (such as on mountains), or beneath townhouses, especially in major historical cities. Because of the windows and exterior doors that often exist on these lower levels, they're more versatile in how they can be used than cellar type basements can. In houses with walkout basements, it's common to have bedrooms and even whole apartments down there. |

en_simple_wiki_v0-0001.json.gz:2944946 | Gabilan Range
The Gabilan Range is a mountain range in the U.S. state of California. It is near the central coast of California in Monterey and San Benito counties. The Gabilan Range is part of the larger California Coast Ranges. The word "Gabilán" is Spanish for sparrowhawk. Pinnacles National Park is in the southern section of the range.
Geography.
The Gabilan Range goes from northwest to southeast along the border of Monterey County and San Benito County. It is bordered on the east by the Diablo Range, the San Andreas Fault, and State Route 25; and on the west by the Salinas Valley, Santa Lucia Range, and U.S. Route 101. The northern limit of the Gabilan Range is just south of Pinecate Peak and San Juan Bautista, California.
Fremont Peak, which is high, is the range's highest point. There are several other peaks also over in the range.
History.
In Spanish, "gavilán" (gabilan is an older spelling) means "sparrow hawk". Hawks, especially the red-tailed hawk, are common in the range.
The Gabilan Mountains and other nearby places are mentioned in several novels by John Steinbeck, such as "Of Mice and Men" and "East of Eden". In "The Red Pony", the main character (Jody Tiflin) names his pony "Gabilan" after the mountain range.
Fremont Peak was named for John C. Frémont, an American explorer and a Captain in the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers. He traveled to the peak in 1846 to decide if it was useful for the U.S. military against Mexico. It is now a California State Park.
Ecology.
Wild animals can travel through a relatively undeveloped area between the southern Santa Cruz Mountains and the northern Gabilan Range. This area extends from Mount Pajaro in southern Santa Cruz County and Rancho Juristac in southern Santa Clara County, to lands between Pinecate Peak and San Juan Bautista in San Benito County. California State Route 129 and U.S. Highway 101 cross this area. In 2020, The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County bought the first block of land intended to protect the Santa Cruz Mountains-Gabilan Range Wildlife Corridor: the Rocks Ranch in Aromas at the border of San Benito and Monterey counties. |
