The ever loveable, ever cute opossums would seem to present a mystery to evolution. Why and how would such a creature ever evolve the characteristic "playing opossum"? To stop mid chase and fall into a catatonic state seems to be a pretty lousy "defense mechanism". To a hungry predatory animal this would be fast food turned into sit down dining.

Then why are the opossums still around? Obviously, it must work since they are still here and have a thriving population.
