Heidi, a cross-eyed opossum in the Leipzig Zoo has turned into Germany's new media darling. Although Heidi will not be on public view until July, she already has more than 65,000 Facebook fans, a YouTube hit, and a stuffed doll modeled after her.
The reason for Heidi's crossed eyes is unclear, but zoo officials speculate that it might be because of fat deposits behind her eyes, caused by a bad diet early in life. The eyes might look off, but they cause the animal no pain, and don't affect her ability to get around, according to the zoo.
