No. Possums have no interest in harming desert turtles or any other living creature.

However, there is a misconception that "possums" are the same as "opossums". The two animals are quite unrelated. Possums belong to the family Phalangeridae, while opossums belong to the order Didelphimorphia. In North America, the term 'opossum' is often shortened to 'possum', but the animals remain quite different species. There are no true possums in America.

If the question refers to "opossums", opossums are omnivores and will eat both animal and vegetable matter. They are also predators of other animals like birds, lizards, rodents and even tortoises if they are small enough for the opossum to kill.
