Best Answer

Usually yes, but it depends on the size of the rat. My dad has seen a rat about the size of a long plank of wood and opossums are smaller than a long plank of wood, usually a few inches bigger than a regular rat. So usually yes, but unless you happen to see a rat bigger than an opossum, that rat has sure lived for a long time.
