From Associated Press:
BOGOTA, Colombia - Police in Colombia are training two whiskered, red-eyed rats, to sniff out bombs and land mines.
The rodents are part of an experimental six-rat squadron that police are preparing for dangerous missions to defuse the more than 100,000 land mines
To earn their stripes, the rats have spent the past year undergoing a daily training regimen in which they are placed in a maze with C-4 explosives and other bomb-making materials. When they detect the target, they're rewarded with a cracker.
A cracker.
...
The little suckers have heart, I'll give 'em that.
Teach 'em to swordfight, and I'll buy two dozen.
