Yes. Many animals carry rabies.
Birds, insects, amphibians and reptiles cannot carry the virus. High risk carriers are mammals of the Carnivora group, e.g. cats and their relatives, dogs and their relatives, bears, otters, skunks, weasels, badgers, and raccoons, and bats. As a general rule, smaller rodents can carry the virus but they are low risk carriers.
Some countries such as Australia and New Zealand are completely free of rabies. No animals in these countries have rabies.
Rabies is transmitted by bite of rabid animals. Usually the carnivorous animals transmit the rabies. The virus is there in the saliva of the rabid animals.
