Playing Possum?

When the dogs started barking tonight, we just figured it was time for them to come in, as usual. However, this is what we found on the back porch. I have to tell you, possums are not cute, and they scare me, especially this one, look at those pointy teeth and claws! I can't tell if he's playing possum or not, but he is breathing and otherwise not moving. We put up the dogs, turned out the light and are hoping he'll be gone when we check again...
