An opossum is an animal. Animals do not typically rationalize. They act on instinct, but that is not to say that they do not have the mental capacity to analyze a situation and respond to that situation based on that analysis. As do most animals. An example of an animal acting on instinct is when a mother reacts aggressively towards a creature coming too close to her offspring. An example of a animal analyzing a situation would be an animal that sniffs around a baited trap and happens across the human scent and then decides that it will not take the food.
