Just saw the animal inside the trap this morning and felt like sharing the pix with you guys, this animal has been terrorizing our yams inside this Buhari regime, it doesnt knw the price of one tubber and has d mind to finish one whole tubber like that, well jst decided its time ws up so i kept the trap and it stupidly and gladly came again and was trapped in it. In some part of Delta it is reffered to as 'Eletu'(rabbit) which is wrong,

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.

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
