Meet Germany's adorable Heidi the Cross-Eyed Opossum. Heidi, a Virginia opossum, sits in her enclosure at Leipzig zoo in eastern Germany. Heidi's not yet on public display but her popularity's rising as more and more people are liking her on her Facebook Page. I won't be surprised if in the next few days thousands of Heidi stuffed toys will be available in stores.
According to the zoo officials, the reason for Heidi's crossed eyes is unclear, but they speculate that it might be because of fat deposits behind her eyes, caused by a bad diet early in life. The zoo added that Heidi's eyes might look off, but they cause the animal no pain, and don't affect her ability to get around. She is, aside from her looks, a normal opossum.
Well, cross-eyed or not, Heidi is still so adorable. Check out this Heidi the cross-eyed opossum video below.
