No, an opossum is not a ruminant animal. Ruminants are mammals that have a specialized stomach with multiple compartments, allowing them to digest fibrous plant material through fermentation. Opossums are marsupials and have a simple stomach structure, primarily feeding on insects, fruits, and small animals rather than relying on the complex digestive processes seen in ruminants.
