JPG: Stories: Personal Post: Urban Fauna - Wild Hydrants of Northern California

Urban Fauna - Wild Hydrants of Northern California

By Alexis Gerard

25 Apr 2009

Believed to have evolved from a few individuals who were released into the wild by their former owners. They found the conditions in the San Francisco Bay Area quite favorable and, with few natural predators (only worms), have reproduced extensively.

P.S. I plead temporary insanity caused by evil JPG members including Claudia Luthi, Pascal Felloneau, Llorenç Rosanes, Simon Kossoff and other guilty parties.
