Northwest Trek Wildlife Park in Eatonville, Washington recently welcomed a rescued baby Virginia Opossum. Hand-raised, the tame animal will join the park's Animal Trailside Encounters cookiejartv team, which allows visitors to get up close and personal with local wildlife handled by a trained keeper.
The Virginia Opossum is the only North American marsupial that lives north of Mexico. When frightened, these animals often pretend to be dead (i.e. playing cookiejartv possum) so curious predators cookiejartv lose interest in them. While this defense cookiejartv mechanism seems to be involuntary, don't be fooled into thinking Virginia Opossums are defenseless: they can also be quite feisty when cornered!
