Name the Newbie

A young female Virginia Opossum will be joining The Quarry Farm in January as an educational ambassador. She was surrendered to Lake Erie Nature & Science Center after she had spent the first months of her life in illegal captivity. She is not afraid of humans and has no experience of the wild world so will live here, helping us teach people about North America’s only native marsupial.

Years ago, we asked people to help us give a name to a male Virginia Opossum. The winning name was Captain John Smith. The name and the history behind it was so intriguing that we ask you to help us again. Please send possible names and the reason behind the suggestion to thequarryfarm@gmail.com by January 21.

Caption This!

It was suggested to us that a photo in an earlier post was just begging for a caption. It was further suggested that we might offer up another little competition. So, here’s Caption This! Not only do you get the opportunity to win a set of ten Quarry Farm notecards, but I get to put off writing a lengthier piece for yet another day. What say we give it a deadline of Monday, June 11, 2012.
