Sad news in the world of weird news that I like.

Heidi The Cross Eyed Possum hadn’t been feeling good for the past few weeks. The The Leipzig zoo in Berlin said today that the marsupial had been listless and unable to move for several weeks. A decision was made to put the 3 1/2-year-old animal to sleep following repeated attempts to treat her.

Her Facebook page attracted more than 332,000 admirers from across the globe, including me.
