Heidi Opossum… What A Sweetheart!

How cute is she?  Well, the folks in Germany think she's adorable!  Heidi's middle-aged, gray-haired and stays up all night... but the cross-eyed opossum is Germany's biggest media sensation!  The 2-1/2-year-old opossum has a growing Facebook following pushing 80,000 fans, sparked a popular song on YouTube and will soon star as a plush toy. However, the public will not get their first glimpse of the opossum until July, when the Leipzig Zoo opens its tropical wildlife exhibit!
