The Coorg yellow bush frog or blue-eyed yellow bush frog ("Raorchestes luteolus") is a frog. It lives in southern India. Scientists have seen it in the Western Ghat mountains between 500 and 1250 meters above sea level. The adult male frog is about 26.8 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is yellow or yellow-brown in color with light stripes that are not easy to see. The male frog turns yellow when it is time to find female frogs who will lay eggs. It turns cream-white at other times of year. This frog lives in forests and in Myristica swamps on the mountains. It sits on plants about 1 meter above the ground. People have seen this frog in forests that were cut down and are growing back, coffee farms, and other places that humans have changed. Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place, which includes many protected parks, but humans can harm the frog by building and improving roads in the Western Ghat Mountains, building farms, removing trees or dead leaves from the forest, and changing its habitat in other ways. Scientists have seen the fungus "Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis" on other frogs in "Raorchestes", so they think it could infect "R. jayarami" too. "Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis" causes the fungal disease chytridiomycosis.

The 21 grams experiment was a scientific study. It was published in 1907. The author was Duncan MacDougall. He was a physician from Haverhill, Massachusetts. MacDougall thought that souls have physical weight. He tried to measure the mass lost by a human when the soul left the body. MacDougall tried to measure the mass change of six patients at the moment of death. One of the six subjects lost three-quarters of an ounce (21.3 grams). MacDougall said his experiment would have to be repeated many times before any conclusion could be obtained. The experiment is not considered good science. This is because of the small sample size, the methods used, and the fact only one of the six subjects met the hypothesis. The case has been used as an example of selective reporting. Despite its rejection by scientists, MacDougall’s experiment made people think that the soul has weight. Specifically, that it weighs 21 grams. Experiment. In 1901, Duncan MacDougall wanted to find out if a soul had weight. He found six patients in nursing homes who were going to die soon. Four had tuberculosis, one had diabetes, and one had other causes. MacDougall chose people who were very tired because of their illness. He needed them to be still when they died so he could measure them accurately. When the patients were close to death, their whole bed was put on a big scale. The scale was sensitive within two tenths of an ounce (5.6 grams). MacDougall thought that humans have souls but animals do not. So he later measured the weight changes of fifteen dogs after they died. MacDougall wanted to use sick or dying dogs for his experiment. But he could not find any. So it is thought that he poisoned healthy dogs. Results. One patient lost weight. But then gained it back again. Two other patients lost weight at death. But then lost even more weight a few minutes later. One patient lost “three-fourths of an ounce” (21.3 grams) in weight at the time of death. MacDougall did not count the results of another patient because the scales were “not finely adjusted
