Mine Finding Rats [Video]

Normally when people think of rats, they get kind of grossed out. We associate them with disease and filth, except for a few of us who associate the rat as a trainer of a certain group of ninja turtles, but that is another subject. Tanzania found a different job for them, to find mines in fields. I think that is so cool! It's like playing "Minesweeper", but instead of using a "mouse" you are using a rat! Get it?

The video explains what they do better than I ever could, so click play and enjoy! Side note: Don't the rats kind of resemble the ROUS from "Princess Bride"?
