In Tanzanian, a social enterprise founded by two
Belgians, APOPO, trains Gambian pouched
rats to detect land mines and tuberculosis
with their highly developed sense of smell.
The trained pouched rats are called
HeroRATS . The rats are cheaper to train than
mine-detecting dogs; a rat requires $7,300 for
nine months of training, whereas a dog costs
about $25,000 for training. [6]
Currently studies are being conducted in
various countries about the best ways to train
these rats, and determine their abilities and
limits to detecting mines. 1 Like

GogetterMD:this ones are way bigger in size compared to the rats yu see at home, they leave in burrows.Giant pouched rats are only distantly related to the true rats, though they were until recently placed in the family Muridae.Recent molecular studies, however, place them in the family Nesomyidae , part of an ancient radiation of African and Malagasy muroids |
