AN Ipswich childcare worker helped a baby marsupial escape a slow and painful death after she found the youngster in the pouch of its dead mother.
Exiting the Warrego Hwy onto Holdsworth Rd, North Ipswich, on Monday night, Emma William noticed a possum on the road, which appeared to have recently been struck by a car.
“I knew there hadn’t been a possum there before, when I’d driven through that way,” Emma said.
“I had this feeling so I turned around and pulled over and check.”
As she walked toward the animal, about 9.30pm, she noticed movement.
