WAND-TV STEM Minute (March 12) – The ambassador animals at the University of Illinois Wildlife Medical Clinic educate the community about local wildlife. A recent addition to the ambassador team, Pesto the opossum has captured many hearts with his cute face and lack of a tail. “A lot of people think opossums look like a giant rat, so they get a bad rap,” said Sydney Oliveira, program coordinator. “So we love taking him out, and letting people get to know him and get to realize how important possums are in the wild.”
