Yes, opossums can eat maple tree bark, although it is not a primary food source for them. They are omnivorous and typically prefer fruits, insects, and small animals. However, in situations where other food sources are scarce, they may nibble on the bark or other parts of the tree. Their diet is quite varied, allowing them to adapt to different environments.
