This summer, a Bay Area wildlife rescue made headlines for an unusual request: foster parents for baby opossums.
The story went viral, drawing tens of thousands of likes and shares, and hundreds of volunteers eager to help.
Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue says the response was overwhelming, in the best way.
« Thanks to your story, we had a lot of people apply to be opossum fosters », said founder Lila Travis. « So many people applied, actually, that we still haven’t been able to process all the applications, because we’re all volunteers. »

The Oakland Ballers baseball team even joined in, helping to foster five opossums and releasing them back into the wild.
