The Unexpected Discovery That Left Her Speechless

A Strange Morning Call

One early morning, seasoned animal rescuer, Karenlynn Stracher, woke up to a call from a distressed woman. The urgency of the police recommendation propelled her into action. As she reached the location, she braced herself for the unexpected – little did she know, a peculiar surprise awaited her.

Upon arrival, Karenlynn was greeted by an anxious elderly lady standing beside an open laundry machine. As she peered inside, two tiny black eyes stared back at her. A baby possum had found itself trapped within the machine. Even with her vast experience, this was a first for Karenlynn.

In a TikTok video, she later shared, “There’s a first time for everything.” With swift composure, she began the delicate rescue. Armed with a towel, she carefully extracted the frightened possum, ensuring its safety.

The possum, paralyzed with fear, remained still. Karenlynn, however, understood that this was temporary. The crucial thing was that the little creature was now in secure hands. The entire rescue was documented and shared on her TikTok account @wildliferehab_kl.

Soon Where She Belongs

The baby possum, playing peek-a-boo from within the washing machine, was soon named Peekaboo, humorously suggested by the elderly lady present. Karenlynn couldn’t help but agree – the name was perfect for the little survivor.

The woman captured some photos of Peekaboo, playfully mentioning she would send them to her granddaughter as a christening gift idea. But Peekaboo’s journey was just beginning, and it did not involve decorative boxes.

Karenlynn took Peekaboo home to her rehabilitation center, where the young possum would stay until fully recovered and ready for the wild. She was confident that Peekaboo would soon be where she truly belonged.

In an interview with The Dodo, Karenlynn shared, “She’s with me and thriving. She’s quite feral, which is a good thing. It will serve her well when she is big enough to be released.”
