Weird and Wonderful Wildlife: The Virginia Opossum
November 29 @ 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Free
The Virginia Opossum (Didelphis virginiana) is North America’s sole marsupial. Often viewed as nuisance animals, they possess remarkable traits that make them fascinating! They’ve survived since the age of dinosaurs, proving their worth and ability to adapt! Jennifer Peaslee will give us a small degree of insight into their value and uniqueness and, hopefully, foster some appreciation for this easy-going animal.
Jennifer has been with the Cornell Wildlife Health Lab (CWHL) for nearly eight years and at Cornell University for over 13 years. She is the program’s web content manager, social media administrator, and an expert ‘cat herder.’
She received her BSc in Entomology, minoring in Infectious Disease Biology from Cornell University. She is committed to wildlife health outreach, educating the public on the value of wildlife population health, and sharing how disease surveillance is essential in predicting and preventing outbreaks.
Due to venue capacity limits, registration is required to attend this event in-person.
