Possums or Opossums are strange little creatures that stalk the night

The one you spotted was most likely struck by a vehicle..

Here is a "possum" pretending not to be seen in my neigbhours yard,

I had one do the old roll over and play dead trick in my back yard once. The dogs kept trying to poke at him and I had a hard time getting them in. Boy did he stink -- like rotting animal.
