What's going on? Heidi, the famous cross-eyed opossum, peers out of her box
Her famous quizzical look has earned her own website, film trailer, and 326,000 fans on Facebook.
Now Heidi, the opossum whose crossed eyes turned her into an internet superstar, will finally get a chance to meet her public.
Her handlers at Leipzig Zoo, in Germany, have decided to rehouse her in the zoo's tropical house - and she is set to become the star exhibit.
Where am I going? A TV cameraman films Heidi as she is taken to her new enclosure
Two-year-old Heidi became an international sensation when snaps of her published in a German newspaper appeared on the internet earlier this year.
But visitors to Leipzig zoo had not been able to see the famous marsupial as she was housed in the zoo's veterinary unit while she battled weight problems.
Now keepers say she has enjoyed her brush with fame so much she is ready to join other animals in the zoo's tropical house.
'The attention has had a very positive effect on her,' said one keeper
'She is healthier, fitter and can't seem to wait to meet her public.'
