| Discovery Notes | The sample was taken near a bridge where the river was flowing under the bridge and into a creek. The soil where the sample was taken was wet. I collected the soil from the underside of a rock. The soil was mud-like and had rocks and leaves. |
| Naming Notes | I picked the name “Carebear” because that was my sister’s nickname for me growing up! I also feel that patients, young patients in particular, when they hear the name, would not feel scared and might giggle. |
