Sound on for pear crunchies. Darwin the Virginia Opossum is an omnivore, so he eats plant matter (like fruits and vegetables) and meat. Opossums have a very varied diet. They eat all sorts of things that help us out like ticks. Did you know that a single Virginia Opossum will eat about 5000 ticks a season!? | World Bird Sanctuary

The animal care team at Stone Zoo recently hid the bears’ normal diet (omnivore chow and veggies) in paper, boxes and buckets throughout their habitat so Bubba and Smoky could flex their natural foraging behaviors. You could say they were pretty "into" it 😉 We actually provide novel experiences and enrichment for all the animals in our care every day. So you never know what clever enrichment you might see when you visit the zoo. Plan a visit this weekend→ stonezoo.org 📹 Keeper Nora | Stone Zoo
