Pssst. No video :-(
The video is working fine for me on safari.
Submarine Kune Kune pigs :-)
I saw a program on TV where they were using trained Gambian giant pouched rats (same animal that brought in the monkey fever which shut down the pet trade in prairie dogs) to do mine detecting. I don't think any harm came to the rats as they were too light to set off the mines.
Who knows what they'll think of next. Animals are often better at doing some things than we are!
Animals are better at doing a lot of things than we are. Their senses are more acute and they are more sensible.
I know that the US Navy use sea lions. I remember reading this article before Christmas about them.
