Cold weather poses a very real threat to many of our native species, but opossums have it especially tough. They don’t hibernate. They don’t den in groups to conserve body heat. And they are still somewhat nomadic in the winter, changing den sites frequently. Their furless ears and tails are often lost to frostbite when temperatures drop below freezing. This is so common that our staff always note with excitement when an adult opossum comes into care with full ears and an undamaged tail! Though

The Virginia Opossum uses death feigning as a defense mechanism. Well, that is, wild opossums use it as a defense mechanism. Rosaleigh, our animal ambassador, liked to use it to scare us sometimes. She knew and had us trained to give her treats and extra love when our hearts started beating again after realizing she was okay in her senior years. The vitals of a healthy Virginia Opossum: Heart rate = 211 to 232 beats per min Respiratory rate = 25 to 30 breaths per min Body temperature = 93 to 95

Vivian, our non-releasable opossum ambassador can be seen here breaking that myth during her rigorous cleaning routine which she goes through after eating even part of her dinner. Opossum are oportunistic omnivores and rarely pass up on a meal whether it be carrion, fruits, insects, amohibians or more. These fascinating creatures may seem standoffish as they engage in

Take a load off and enjoy a snack with PawPaw the Virginia Opossum! 😍 We love this video because it shows off PawPaw's awesome Opossum canine teeth! While most wild Opossums quickly wear down or breath their long canines, PawPaw still has his due to him being kept illegally and fed an overly-soft and poor diet during his youth.

A panther and an opossum walk into a backyard.... Did you know? Virginia opossums account for roughly 5% of a Florida panther's diet, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Lucky for this opossum, this panther was uninterested in a late night bite. Witnessing a Florida panther is a special treat, though one of Florida's most iconic species, only around 120-230 remain in existence. Habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation all threaten this species, but among the bigges
