| Discovery Notes | I collected my soil sample from a pond in Denton. The soil was completed submerged in water with algae present. Animals, mainly ducks, frequent the pond. |
| Naming Notes | I chose the name Thestral after the "death horses" in Harry Potter. I feel the same way for the fictional creatures as I do phages: weirded-out but interested. |
