Opossums play dead as a defense mechanism, which is an instinctive behavior to avoid predation. When threatened, they may collapse and enter a catatonic state, emitting a foul odor to deter predators. This behavior can make them appear unappetizing or unpalatable, providing a survival advantage in the wild.
