Artist Bio:

Petal left her foot prints of approval on these adorable black canvas bag perfect for anyone.

As one of our Animal Ambassadors, Petal can be seen at our educational programs, both at the zoo and off-site at special events.

Petal came to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo earlier this year after being rescued in Florida. During her rehabilitation, she underwent a tail amputation and was deemed non-releasable, resulting in her needing a forever home, and AGCZ was able to step in and become her forever home.

Virginia Opossums are the only living marsupial native to North America and have the most teeth of any land mammal! Opossums are nocturnal and often sleep in dens made by other animals. While they do not hibernate, cold temperatures can cause opossums to nest for several days to reduce their energy use.

Petal is very inquisitive and loves eating worms. She enjoys spending time with her keepers and can often be found snuggling in one of her favorite donated blankets!
