I believe that any mammal can contract rabies....bein' in the right place at the wrong time. Canines are probably the most frequently encountered by humans,...but I think that bats & skunks are the most common victims.....any such wild critters acting outside the normal expectations
should be avoided....infected animals don't always act "mad" or "rabid".....it's best to leave them alone
I remember seeing a documentary about wild animals adapting to urban surroundings....coyotes were definitely one of the most adaptable...living amongst humans...becoming less afraid ......even attacking a small child in the Los Angeles area....for food
Thanks Linda....for the info
