More Walden rumors...

Setting the Record Straight about Carp:

so, here's the official story: 10 years ago, someone let some japanese koi fish go in the pond. 10 years later, there's 4 of them: 2 orange, 1 white, 1 black. the black one is the biggest, but the hardest to see. and at this, the lifeguards held out their hands about three feet wide. great.

A New Rumor from Joellen:

two very small alligators have been spotted in Walden Pond, the result again, of dumb people introducing them.

From Multiple Sources:

snapping turtles abound. i myself have yet to see them. but if they differ from joellen's mimed version (picture a silly girl, wrapping her lips around her teeth, muttering, "myar-myar-myarym" while chomping air and spitting a bit), i might not recognize them.
