Opossums do not actually faint; they enter a state called thanatosis. This physiological response, often referred to as "playing dead," occurs involuntarily when they feel threatened. During this state, their heart rate slows, and they become immobile, mimicking death to deter predators. This behavior is similar to fainting but is a specific defense mechanism rather than a response to fear.
