The Battery-Powered Opossum

THE BATTERY-POWERED OPOSSUM

ABOUT THE OBJECT

In the spirit of slightly confusing objects, welcome: the Battery-Powered Opossum. The museum team don’t know for sure why this specimen had a D-cell battery in it, but most likely it was to weigh it down when it was being preserved (and perhaps this was done in haste, in the field). The battery is now displayed beside the opossum, rather than inside of it.
