They should train them to bring down a little can on a string so you can talk to them 😂
They also can detect mines and have been highly successful in saving countless limbs/lives in that field too(no pun intended). https://apopo.org/?v=0b3b97fa6688
Thanks for the link. This is really cool work! Search and pre-rescue rats are a small part of what Apopo does: they mostly do unexploded mine clearance and tuberculosis detection! 😳
Read MSDS
LD50 (Rat)
My cats, in the meantime: train themselves to know when humans dispense food, everything else be damned!
What’s in the backpack?!
Cheese
C4
sounds like it’s a gps transponder
Probably something other than gps, because that doesnt work when under a bunch of rubble. Well thats what i assume because gps doesnt even work inside uncollapsed buildings.
It’s some kind of tracker regardless, more info and action pics(!) here: https://apopo.org/innovation-2023/?v=7885444af42e
Some sort of signal emitter maybe? So the rescue team knows to look where the hero rat triggered it.
Took me a sec to get that the #womaninstem wasnt referring to the rat lol
There’s also those huge rats they train to find landmines… rats are truly under appreciated.
Gotta love a heroic snotpest
