You may have read my other post about Sonny the opossum who got to spend some time outside. Recently, we have been able to provide other opportunities for animals to go out and get some fresh air and sunshine. When out duck goes out to his exhibit for the day time he frees up a little area in the Farmyard. We have been able to give Little Chicken, Bugsy Rabbit and Franklin Tortoise some outside time. Below are some photosRead more
Friday’s Forecast-Sonny outside
The other Friday, I hear a radio call for me to come up to the farmyard. I walk up and see a huge opossum sniffing around in the pine straw. I thought to myself….”gees, that’s a huge opossum and why is it out in the daytime? and why are Aaron and Katy so close to it?” Turns out it was our opossum Sonny, out for a walk. Lightning thought it was VERY interesting and was looking at him the wholeRead more
Super Bowl prediction
Last year, we had our woodchuck Henry predict the Super Bowl winner. He chose correctly, this year Henry chose the PATRIOTS . I do not have this prediction on video because the camera wasn’t working correctly. However, I do have our opossum Galileo picking the GIANTS to win. I am really torn on what animal I should support. I am from New York so naturally I should side with Galileo, but Henry is my main woodchuck pal! Now, the videoRead more
Groundhog Day 2012
Happy Groundhog Day! Last year you may have remembered that our Groundhog/Woodchuck Henry, had an interview and predicted the Super Bowl winner last year. This year Henry is in hibernation mode but still gets up every once in a while to eat a peanut or banana. Last year I took this video and in honor of Groundhog Day I thought I would post it.

What is that?!
I was looking for ideas to blog about and thought that I haven’t done one of these “What is that?!”in a while. I stumbled on a picture of this. Photo:Wikipedia I had never seen or heard of this animal before. I did a little reading and this is what I have found. As you can see, these guys have a huge nose that hang over their mouth. The purpose of this is to control temperature, it warms and moistensRead more
All aboard!
I was reading the news the other day and ran across this in several publications. Photo This little opossum was found on a the subway system in NYC. From the various articles I read people thought it was a huge rat and the riders had to evacuate the train. I am from NYC and would hope to know the difference between a rat and an opossum. Good ending was that animal control came and was able to re-release the opossumRead more
