Oh rats! And Tigers too!
July 7th, 2008
I have friends who really love their pet rats and can go on and on about how smart they are and how loving and, well…on and on. They are going to love this story about how Giant Gambian Pouched Rats have become the heros of Mozambique. Mozambique has a real problem with land mines that have been placed all over the country. Several solutions have been tried, but the best so far has been trained rats! They are less prone to disease than dogs in their country, and seem to really enjoy the work! Best of all, the rats are light enough that they can detect the mines, without setting them off.
Enjoy!
