[SileX84]

If we will disappear the rats will rule the world!

omg those are huge african rats

[ghune]

Once again, before exterminating a specie that almost everybody doesn't like, think twice. It could save your legs...

[aegisknox]

Holy sh8t.. that's one big rat... One of these day, the Python will fear the rats !

[maxinpains]

frwakin' big rt! it's almost size of little kitten!!! I don't know why many low class girls love African big rats. LOL

[xXDubbleChic]

Omg that is so cool!!! And I love how huge they are. I want one! Lol GO RATS

[skymonkey81]

2 voters are cats

[MsChingola]

Rats are super intelligent. As a pet rat lover I cannot imagine my life without these delightful, cute little animals. Once you had them, you can never live without them - the most underrated pet ever !!!!

[Videogamer0011001011]

@MsChingola so, basically what you are saying is...

Once you go rat, you never go back?

[earthintelnet]

Finally, a use for NYC rats? A new resource and skill-set that could be exported during this "recession"? :)

[TheLilScarab]

we owe so much to those little guys when ya really get down and think about it without 'em to help us we'd be up a creek withoutta paddle

Rats make good snake food

There's a show that ran for a short time on t.v., called "Masters of Sci-Fi" that has an episode titled "Jerry Was A Man", that explores a similar concept. Only in the show, the clearers are bio-engineered synthetic clones.

rats so useful

[sandrahamsterdance]

I want to training my rats to that, but we dont have mines here in this country. :P you are doing a good work! :D

[jmdnarri]

Awesome idea,

I wonder how accurate the rats are though?

[Trund27]

jmdnarri: I watched a documentary on the rats who graduated to the training field and they got EVERY dummy mine hidden on the course. Those rats rocked! Plus they are too light to set them off! Win/Win for everyone.

Now if only there were no mines to begin with....

[demon8te]

fiat makes landmines :(

[KarinsBoat]

Rats are so smart! I love them. Rats are so cute too.

The International Campaign to Ban Landmines has sought to ban land mines culminating in the 1997 Ottawa Treaty, although this treaty has not yet been accepted by USA, Russia, China and India.

[pouchedrattie]

this makes me miss my pouched rat boy.,... he was an amazing pet

[penguinistas]

Good idea to use the rats. land Mines are a growing problem worldwide.

[NBZink]

these rats have a lot work to do.

[fillajugg]

Its nice to see my flail machine I built again at 0.34 , Do you know if they are still using it ? .

[jackingoffkills]

sooo youre HOW old? anti mine flails have been out since atleast ww2

[fillajugg]

don't understand the point you are trying to make, the machine in this film was made in England in 1998 !!! why try to reinvent the wheel when wheel works fine !!! just able to improve!!!

[gnrwood]

[delsolarie]

[sophsrats]

they're giant pouched rats. Look like Gambians to me!! (want one when I'm older!!)

[dishan85]

great video. mayeb sri lnak can use them once the ltte rats are flushed out soon!

[kennethcmdk]

Really a great video, it is one of my favourite videos from GlobalNomadsGroup, just the idea of training rats to clear landmines never entered my mind, in my country they are only seen as a pest..

[01100011001]

They also now use honey bees.

[ZoomaKabooma]

lol

[Braunbaer792]

[myshirtgoeswtf]

[belladarling222]

@Braunbaer792 The very best. When people ask me if I'm a cat or a dog person, I say I'm a rat person. :)

[kingofallwhites]

@Braunbaer792 Yuck. I'm all for the landmine thing but yuck
