The common opossum has a life span of about 2 years. With some species living up to 4 years.
The Opossum Lifespan appears to vary somewhat according to source. In general, due to short gestational period, early senescence and small size, the average span would appear to have a range of 1-4 years with 2-3 being average.

The average Virginia Opossum/American Opossum lives two years, but simply because they end up getting killed. In captivity, or luck, they can live up to 5 years and possibly more with good care.
