Which species can transmit Rabies?

Explanation:
Rabies is a virus that is transmitted primarily by mammals through saliva, usually via bites. The virus moves from the bite wound into nerves and travels to the brain, then is shed in saliva, enabling transmission to another animal. Because the virus relies on mammalian nervous system biology and saliva for spread, non-mammalian species such as birds, reptiles, and fish do not serve as natural reservoirs or typical sources of transmission. Domestic and wild mammals—dogs, cats, bats, raccoons, foxes, skunks, and similar species—are capable of transmitting rabies, whereas the other groups are not.
