Discovery Notes | Found in a small grass field next to large building. Soil sample was taken from 5 inches below the ground underneath 2 inches of snow. Temperature was 34 degrees Fahrenheit, and sample was found approximately 8 feet from medium traffic walkway. Sample was taken from soil that was most likely disturbed a few year prior. |
Naming Notes | We went with "FluffyGargoyle" because gargoyles were used in ancient times to protect churches and other buildings from evil spirits and evil in general. We hope to have our phage be a protector of the people one day also. We used fluffy because it is a funny antonym when compared with gargoyles and thought it would be funny. |
