Meet Banjo, the new opossum turning heads at the Roosevelt Park Zoo
Banjo may be just four pounds of fur and whiskers, but he’s already winning fans at Minot’s Roosevelt Park Zoo. The four-month-old Virginia opossum isn’t here to rummage through trash — he’s here to change minds. Known for devouring thousands of ticks each summer, Banjo plays a vital role in the ecosystem, and zookeepers hope he’ll soon serve as an Animal Ambassador. With a taste for strawberries and a soft spot for certain keepers, this nocturnal newcomer is ready for his close-up.
