QUESTION

On slaughter of hunted animals, the onset of rigor mortis is usually?

OPTIONS

(A) Very slow
(B) Very rapid
(C) Absent
(D) Not affected

ANSWER

(B) Very rapid

EXPLANATION

Hunted animals often undergo intense muscular exertion and stress before death, which accelerates ATP and glycogen depletion. Consequently, rigor mortis tends to develop very rapidly rather than slowly or being absent. Therefore, option (B) is correct.
