Antipodean creature found moving by us poms (6)
I believe the answer is:
possum
'antipodean creature' is the definition.
'possum' can be an answer for 'creature' (possum is a kind of animal). I am not certain of the 'antipodean' bit.
'moving by us poms' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates an anagram (letters are moved around).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'us' next to 'poms' is 'uspoms'.
'uspoms' is an anagram of 'POSSUM'.
'found' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for possum that I've seen before include "Small animal with a pouch" , "Tree-dwelling Australasian marsupial" , "Small furry Australian marsupial" , "Dame Edna fan?" , "Thick-furred marsupial" .)
