Bomb Sniffing Rats Used to Locate Land mines.
The amazing little heroes are trained by a group of Belgian and Tanzanian researchers using the Pavlovian method, i.e. if the rats scratch at the ground where there is TNT, they get a treat. They’re so light that even if they tread over a mine they won’t detonate it.
It’s no news that land mines are a major global problem. But these rats, known as HeroRATS, are helping out, one bomb at a time. For more information on the HeroRATS, click here. Stay tuned to The Loki Times as we continue our coverage on intelligent animals.

The Times of London reports that research conducted by Naoko Irie, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Tokyo, shows that elephants possess uncanny mathematical skills.

This yet again illustrates a disturbing trend in the rise of animal intelligence, and raises the question of, what other skills might these elephants be hiding?
The massive animals have long been feared by the organization Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence. The leader of the organization, Jerry Bombadil, has been an outspoken activist for years on the topic.
“It’s bad enough that dogs and cats are living in our homes, yet the ignorant have gone on to teach them so called tricks and skills. Now this report on elephants, some of the largest animals on the planet who we have embraced as kind and intelligent social animals. Has anyone taken a moment to consider these animals might have ulterior motives other than obtaining food and shelter?” – Jerry Bombadil, HSAAI.
Jerry would not elaborate on what these motives might be, wandering off after an fellow HSAAI member whispered something in his ears. Our reporter picked up only the words ‘war’ and ‘experiments’.
