Cross-eyed opossum a hit
斗雞眼負鼠成網絡新寵

A cross-eyed opossum (see photo) in Germany called Heidi who is not yet even on public display has become an Internet hit, winning more than 65,000 admirers on social networking website Facebook, AFP reported. Heidi is thought to be 2 and a half years old, and was abandoned outside an animal shelter in North Carolina, the US and has been in Leipzig zoo since May, 2010. The zoo believes Heidi's eye problem may be to do with her diet before she was abandoned, or because she is overweight, leading to fat deposits behind her eyes.

據法新社報道，德國一只名叫海蒂的斗雞眼負鼠(見圖)尚未在動物園公開露面就已成了網絡紅人，目前它在"臉譜"社交網站上擁有超過6.5萬的粉絲。海蒂約2歲半，當初被遺棄在美國北卡羅來納州的一家動物收養所門口，去年5月時被轉移到德國萊比錫動物園。動物園方面認為海蒂的斗雞眼大概和它被遺棄前的飲食有關，也有可能因為過于肥胖，眼后脂肪沉積而導致。
