[QUOTE="good brother, post: 61038286"] Split's response was in no way "a valid point". It was a dismissive statement. As far as to how the reaction of the opossum could have been an evolved trait, it would seem (at least to me) that it would be totally counterproductive to evolution. I know one person responded that many predators are more interested in a live meal versus a dead meal, but any predatory animal that could observe the "nature" of the opossum's behavior could quickly learn how to get a "fast" meal. Simply scare the opossum into that catatonic state and then close in for the kill. Why chase a meal when you can get your meal to lay perfectly still? In Christ, GB [/QUOTE]
