Discovery Notes | Ziko was found on 9/9/18 at 5:32 pm. The soil sample was taken from a planter in Schenley Park, Pittsburgh. The outside weather was 59 degrees Fahrenheit with winds blowing at 9 mph northeast. The soil was wet because it had been raining. Nearby vegetation included a few bushes. The soil was stored in a temperature controlled drawer until brought to lab. |
Naming Notes | I have two dogs named Niko and Ziggy. For my phage name, I combined my dogs' names to make Ziko. |
