I'm not the only one who noticed the cat in the background thinking "Lunch", am I?

African HeroRats detect landmines.
Using positive reinforcement behavior that is respectful of the animals, African pouched rats are taught to identify the explosives, receiving treats for their efforts. After months of training, the rats are set a test and accredited as HeroRats if they pass.
The pouched rats are perfect for the job; intelligent with a keen sense of smell, they are small enough not to trigger mines and large enough to be easily identifiable in the field. No rat has been killed in a minefield.
Banana for scale
The rats can clear two hundred square meters in just 20 minutes. It would take humans with metal detectors five days to cover the same area.
The rats live for up to eight years, but retire after six and live out their twilight years eating avocados, apples and bananas, and being regularly patted by their handlers.

Solod out.
Used to have a gecko. I heard they dont have a diaphragm and they actually pass out when you do that because they can't breathe. I'm not sure if that's the case or just a defense mechanism.The Blue Tongue

And the Blue Belly
Fun Fact: rub the blue belly lizard's stomach and he stays in the position you see above. Don't know why, but worked when I was a kid...

Wow what is that first dog? Pointer pup? Also that's gotta be one of the cutest puggles I've ever seen.
We've got two little snort monsters our selves, both female Bostons. Don't you just love all the gas?
