Oops, totally in error, fixed!

Grubby, the female opossum that hitched a ride to Alaska on a shipping container two years ago — spurring a manhunt, memes and a frenzy in a small coastal town — has died, the Alaska Zoo said Tuesday.

The Virginia opossum, which zoo staff had taken to calling Ophelia, died Saturday from what the zoo described in a statement as complications of old age.

The marsupial was found in spring 2023 huddled in the back of a shipping container that arrived in Homer from Washington state. Opossums are not native to Alaska.

The opossum was eventually caught and transferred to the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, where it would live out the rest of its days.

According to the zoo’s statement, Grubby was about 3 1/2 years old when she died. The average lifespan for an opossum in the wild is one to two years, according to the zoo.

Oh, it’s not because they lack the resources. They have the money to pay for it. They just choose not to. And if any nonprofit sends stuff, they will just not accept it.

The raw ingredients of a human body would cost over £116,000. But if you’re prepared to do the refining yourself, a body could cost a lot less – under £100 in fact.

If we consider the individual elements, a typical 70kg adult body consists of about 46kg (101lbs) of oxygen, 13kg (27lbs) carbon, 7kg (15lbs) hydrogen, 2kg (4lbs) nitrogen and a kilo (2lbs) of calcium, plus another kilo (2lbs) combined of phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, sodium, chlorine, magnesium and some trace elements.

In his book The Body: A Guide for Occupants, author Bill Bryson calculates the total cost of these raw materials as over £116,000 ($150,000), but he was using the most expensive, chemically pure form of each element.

Nah, it’s taken at a fox sanctuary, they wouldn’t have rabies. Maybe it’s puzzled?

Honduran White Bats, aka Caribbean White Tent-making Bats (Ectophylla alba).

They build their own “tents” by nibbling along the center membranes of larger leaves, forming an upside-down V-shape for them to hide in.

They are polygamous, with each tent housing a single male and his harem of many females.

The most important part is that Margo is no longer on “death row” so even if this application falls through, she will find a forever home elsewhere.

This is actually useful, thank you!

It’s the only cuddling opossums I had on my phone! Let’s say the third one is the Holy Spirit for those who are religious… and for those who aren’t… enjoy your spicy Valentine’s Day.
