Arkansas River sponges





 There has been a few threads going back and forth on freshwater sponges
and other inverts recently.  Just wanted to share this with you:


  In this months edition of "Kansas Wildlife and Parks" magazine, it
reports of a man who has discovered freshwater sponges in a small city
drainage creek of the Arkansas River in Wichita, Kansas.  These sponges
require 'pristine' water conditions to grow.  Evidently, at least some of
the efforts to clean up part of the Arkansas river in Kansas are paying
off.
