sometimes yes, sometimes no...it depends entirely on the animal. It may feel threatened and play dead...or may feel threatened at attack.

Note: Possums are native to Australia and some islands of the South Pacific. They should not be confused with opossumsof North America, which are very different creatures and so have different defence mechanisms. It is the opossum that "plays dead" to deter predators.
