    Kayaker Rescues Pregnant Possum

    By ermarkt  |  Posted February 25, 2013  |  Miami, Florida
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Avid kayaker ermarkt told me, 'I grabbed her tail and placed her on the bow of my kayak. I originally intended to just let her rest, but then I realized that she was pregnant. So, being an animal lover, I paddled back to shore and nudged her into some mangroves where she could rest. This is definitely a first for me. I have no idea how she got out so far in the Bay.'
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    I came across this possum as I was kayaking in Biscayne Bay in Miami.

     

    She swam right up to my kayak, so I grabbed her tail and plopped her on my boat.

     

    I soon noticed she was pregnant, so I headed back to shore with her riding on my bow.

     

    Once near land I nudged her off my kayak and she swam to higher ground.
