Rats: super smell strength

Hello UYDers and Mr. Sakai,

I watched this TED talk the other night. It's about how Bart Weetjens taught rats how to sniff out land mines and TB. We have pet rats, so I showed it to my daughters and they loved it.

It seems like in Usagi world rats are always portrayed as the snitch or bad seeds. But what if you had a rat that was nobel and helped use his super smell to help others? But I guess Zato Ino already played that role. Too bad Zato Ino couldn't come out of retirement to mentor a blind rat.

Anyway. Enjoy the TED talk:
