Yes, opossums are known to scavenge and feed on roadkill. Opossums are opportunistic feeders and are often attracted to carrion, including animals that have been hit by vehicles. They have a keen sense of smell, which helps them locate potential food sources, and their scavenging behavior allows them to take advantage of available resources.
