Interesting. Are they omnivores or carnivores?

Some of our possums are vegetarian, like the little ringtails, whereas others eat insects as well as fruit and flowers, like brushtails do.

I wonder if American opossums have a diet more like a quill or a Tassie devil?

Time for a Google!

Edit:

From Wikipedia:

So, the opossums of the Americas are of the suborder ‘Didelphimorphia’, whereas the Australasian possums are if the suborder ‘Phalangerifirmes.’

(Didelphimorphia means ‘two wombs’)
