I was shown this video in a class a couple years ago. I was definitely impressed when I saw it.
Cool! Go, rats go! I think rats are very cool critters.
Anyone know what the advantage of using rats over, say, dogs would be? I imagine they're cheaper to breed and house, but they also have about 1/4 of the lifespan (so less time to use all the hours of training that's going into them). Just curious. It's a very cool idea if it's sustainable.

They just said in the video they are A LOT cheaper.
I don't know if this is true, but I heard some where that the rats don't weigh enough to detonate the mines, but a dog weight's could? The rats go out and look for mines in teams, so if the first rat doesn't find it 1) the mine doesn't detonate and 2) another rat can still find it.
ooooh, that would make a lot of sense. Those are huge rats, but definitely smaller than even the tiniest dogs.
I have heard this as well
