Ms. O’Connor introduced Mussopo, a Virginia opossum, who is an animal ambassador for the San Diego Zoo. Animal ambassadors are used to visit schools, hospitals, and other locations to teach the public about the species. The interaction helps people connect with the species and also provides the animals with enrichment. (Enrichment is anything that helps to stimulate the animal mentally or physically.)
