We got the bee the other day and now we have the rat, let’s see what rat can do. Erm… only certain type of rat, the Gambian Pouch Rat can detect mine. APOPO has trains sniffer rats to detect explosives and diagnose disease. Yes, Gambian Pouch Rats not only sniff mines but they can also be train to sniff out diseases such as Tuberculosis which is still a threat in the developing world. So not all rats need to be kill, some are useful.
