Grubby the opossum, who has wandered Homer for more than a month, has officially been captured and taken to the Alaska Zoo after biting a police officer's hand.
has wandered Homer for more than a month,Grubby arrived in the Kenai Peninsula community in March after hitching a ride in a shipping container from Washington state. The visitor quickly divided the town. Some wanted it captured and killed because it’s an invasive species. But others took a liking to it, launching the hashtag #FreeGrubby.Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologist Jason Herreman said Homer police Officer Taylor Crowder was able to capture the female opossum.
“We don’t want invasive species in the state, because of the problems that come with them, and the disruption to the ecosystem that could cause so we do our best as an agency to limit them,” he said. “There was folks who were interested in making sure this animal wasn’t necessarily destroyed, but had a chance to be re-homed or sent back to where it came from,” he said. “And then we have other folks who understand the invasive-species issues and don’t have any issues with the animal possibly being put down for the good of the ecosystem.”After checking with regional animal facilities, Herreman said the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage volunteered to take Grubby in.
