Fun in the Village

Mary and her daughter Julie get some “opossumtherapy” when an orphaned baby opossum made avisit on Tuesday.Springtime brings lots of babies and sometimes theyneed help. Wildlife rehabilitators have a license tocare for them until they can be released back intothe wild.Residents can learn lots of fun facts about nativewildlife when they join us for Nature on Tuesdays at3:30pm in the Village.Fun Fact about Opossums: they are the onlymarsupial found in North America. Marsupials aretypically carried and suckled in a pouch on themother’s belly.Did you know that opossums will eat ticks, killrattlesnakes and eat them without reaction tovenom, and very rarely get rabies?

So, if you are lucky enough to seean opossum while on a late day strolljust appreciate all the benefits havingthem around will provide and feelblessed they live near you.

Please Note!
