The description 'omnivore and night-active with rabies' refers to which species?

• A. Racoon
• B. Wolf
• C. Deer
• D. Swan

Answer: (A)

This item tests matching animal traits to a common rabies reservoir. Raccoons are omnivores that forage mainly at night, which brings them into frequent contact with humans, pets, and other wildlife. Their nocturnal activity and flexible diet make them a classic reservoir species for rabies in many regions, so the description fits raccoons best. Wolves are primarily carnivores, though they can be active at dusk or night, which doesn’t align with the stated omnivore trait. Deer eat plants (herbivores) and aren’t typical rabies reservoirs in most pest-control contexts. Swans are herbivorous birds, not associated with rabies reservoirs.
