All animals have defenses they use against predators. Opossums are often known for their ability to play dead. When threatened these animals seize and fall into a comatose state for many hours. They have no control over when or how long this may last. The reaction is triggered by stress and unavoidable for the animal. While in this state, opossums also emit a foul-odor to even smell like a corpse. In combination with their acting the odor also tricks predators into seeking food elsewhere. If you see an opossum lying dead on the ground they may just be acting. Do not approach the animal or attempt to move it as they may carry disease or defend themselves. If you smell a decaying animal or find an opossum in your home, call Guardian Wildlife Services.
