Opossum that Arrived in Alaska on Shipping Container, Christened ‘Grubby’ by Devoted Fans, Has Died

Grubby, an invasive Virginia opossum who lived 3.5 years at Alaska Zoo, far exceeding the 1-2 year wild lifespan, died peacefully from old age, officials said.

The Virginia opossum, which ran loose for weeks in Homer before being caught and taken to the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, died from complications of old age, the zoo said.
