Given that it's a common trivia question, I'll have to suggest that
they're intending the answer to be " the bloodhound." But I have no
idea where the support for that assertion comes from, since theoretically
nearly anything could serve as evidence, so long as it meets the other
FRE evidentiary requirements (e.g. there's no bar I know of on "animal
evidence" as opposed to "vegetable evidence" or "technological evidence",
etc.)
