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 future looks bright for these Virginia opossums, who just graduated to an outdoor enclosure. They are seen here exploring their new space with ample room for climbing, learning to forage food, and becoming acclimated to the weather and finding shelter during storms among other skills. Their enclosure is one of 35 that we are currently working to move and/or rebuild through our Restore our Nature project and campaign, as we have just about 1 year left on the lease on our former property.

The Virginia Opossum unfortunately gets a bad reputation of being a dirty animal, just like many of their scavenger counterparts. 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.
