While we’re asleep, opossums are awake, exploring, and searching for food. Learn all about these often misunderstood creatures of the night from FWR owners, Pam and Bill Lefferts, and members of their wildlife educational team. Best of all, meet Brandi and Brigitte, non-releasable opossums, who could not survive in the wild. At the end of the program, you may have a photo taken with them.
