Title: Urban Animal Encounters: Awesome Opossums!
Target Audience: Grades 1-5
Date: Tuesday, Oct. 25
Times: 9:00-9:45, 10:30-11:15, 12:45-1:30, 2:00-2:45 CST
Description: The perception of opossums is (hopefully) changing with their animated counterparts becoming more popular, especially in movies! Virginia opossums may be the most unique North American mammal, but perception tends to overshadow their awesome qualities. Opossums are awesome because of... their teeth, they are marsupials, omnivores, and nocturnal, and their ability to play dead, just to name a few. We will also clear up any myths and misconceptions that you and your students have about this awesome animal. Please join us and our critter guest stars!
