Range
The Mississippi gopher frog was once abundant along the Gulf coastal plain in lower Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama—from east of the Mississippi River Delta to the Mobile Bay. However, it has not been seen in Alabama since 1922 or in Louisiana since 1967. Presently, the population is approximately 100 frogs found in only one body of water (Glen's Pond) in Harrison County, Mississippi and possibly several other locations in Jackson County, Mississippi.

Famous quotes containing the word range:
“For generations, a wide range of shooting in Northern Ireland has provided all sections of the population with a pastime which ... has occupied a great deal of leisure time. Unlike many other countries, the outstanding characteristic of the sport has been that it was not confined to any one class.”
—Northern Irish Tourist Board. quoted in New Statesman (London, Aug. 29, 1969)
“Compared to football, baseball is almost an Oriental game, minimizing individual stardom, requiring a wide range of aggressive and defensive skills, and filled with long periods of inaction and irresolution. It has no time limitations. Football, on the other hand, has immediate goals, resolution on every single play, and a lot of violence—itself a highlight. It has clearly distinguishable hierarchies: heroes and drones.”
—Jerry Mander, U.S. advertising executive, author. Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, ch. 15, Morrow (1978)
“Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
