Giant Rats Used To Hunt Landmines In Mozambique

[Noface121]

Oh I thought this was going to make me angry. I'm glad it didn't.

[XDTomHD]

SKEEVERS!!!

[lokilokiyeah]

"What does it mean when the rat comes back with just the number 8 on it?" "Plant a flag in each of the surrounding areas."

[jmloudon]

hey... look at that giant rBOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[liv34today]

Well I have done extensive research on this and what happens is the rat sniff's out the landmine because the landmine has a sort of powdery smell quite hard to describe I guess it would be like gunpowder but quite a bit lighter. And well the rat will sniff it out and then run back to the owner. So they really have to watch the rat while it is doing this. And once they know where it is they throw a baby at the mine. Of course they might miss but it's ok the baby is heavy enough to trigger it.

SOMETIMES RAT ARE CRAZY BUT SOME TIME RAT ARE SO USE FULL

[JiwangNakMampus94]

cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeee

[MultiPlatformGamerz]

there was a fatal rat death earlier this morning when one rat began to give anal to a landmine

[joeinferno23]

yeah right. ka boom!.. there goes another tit rat.

[ALIOOOOOOOH]

i thought i was going to see a rat explode dame maybe next time.

[Fizzypop1211]

@ALIOOOOOOOH

yea!!! they are too light to trigger an explosion??? what are we doing??? put those things throught the cities (on leashes) eating all the rubbish, then ship wm out to landminesville and set them free down the "rat runs" -

They explode, mine gone, no one hurt, less rubbish to landfill, reduced carbon emmissions....win win win win win win.... or we could do the same with poor children ( I know, thats sooo eighteen hundreds...)

[abelrocks14]

could you imagine getting up every day, going to work, putting your rat on a leash, then walking around a mine field.... hahaha

[manopeaceYV4]

Wow, cheaper than dogs! Genius. Lets use`em at airports and Iraq too. X-ray machines, what a waste!

[kalinga01]

just hire a guy who's good at minesweeper...those people are the best at guessing in the world!

[smcs]

@kalinga01 minesweeper's not about guessing.. it's about logic..

[kalinga01]

@smcs well guessing works just as well when I play minesweeper. :D

[Mileneum69]

that is so fucked up!

[fazorator]

There to light to trigger an explosion " fucking BANG" hes found one boss.

[Kirschthollar]

haha i thought they were going to release them into a mine field to detonate the bombs

[UncleToffel]

@Kirschthollar So did I, ah well, you can't have everything...

[XSeanxMeowX]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwh

[Im4reelz]

Rats are really smart, and they are cute.

[Karletto555]

if you are out of treats, you can just throw them some cardboard

[MayonnaiseMan124]

Hero rats!

[vegetable99]

Awww. I was expecting some big ass, horrible looking things. Instead, they are so cute!

[moonunitenar]

Jeez rats are unnecessary, just don't step on any squares that are diagonal from a 1 on a corner. 

[MrSmithyistheman]

SUISIDE RATS 

[PyrotonicV2]

hahaah will it blend, that is the question :D

[Raideng3]

Mount one of these on a US Hummve in Afghanistan!

Sniffing out IEDs like hell ya`ll

[mexicanboy92840]

I found one of them rats in my classroom. I took him home and dismembered him.

[gamerguy322]

@mexicanboy92840 thats.......nice

[mexicanboy92840]

@gamerguy322 cookie?

[gamerguy322]

@mexicanboy92840 sure

[BeauStinsonDotCom]

Giant Rats that are to light? yeah right man you know they go BOOM!!! why you think they use rats....

[samuelmorrison]

That rat would scare the crap out of my cat.

[pick8lock]

who cares about the lives of the rats lol

good on them

[BluBel123]

I want one of those big rats for pet...

[MyNameIsScary]

awww i thought i was gonna see rats getting blown up!! :(

[jamexxxxxx]

rats are smart

[Jenfucius]

Interesting use of rats!

[losfreddy]

nifty. does a rat really have good smell like that?

[chubnostics]

KILL IT.....NOW!!!!

:P

That is a behemoth rat.....a gargantua

[IndependentApe]

These rats are not only cheap but simply better than any current devices. They are also better than mine-sniffing dogs. Easier and quicker to train, can work with any handler, easy to transport, cheaper to feed and don't run off stupidly and get blown up! lol

[monishdragon]

@IndependentApe But, will it blend?

[IndependentApe]

@monishdragon Blend?

[monishdragon]

@monishdragon lol Please, search Will it blend on Youtube search. You'll get the joke.

[BlueRice]

@IndependentApe can they guard your house though? probably not.

[xpaullywogx]

i would keep one as a pet

[IndependentApe]

@xpaullywogx In most places in the world you can, although since these are wild animals to tame them you'd have to get one at just 5weeks, before it weens... and be prepared. Gotta know all the pros&cons!

Also... being cheep in Africa, they are not cheap outside. £200 in UK

[manolitomulat]

i wish to see those rats explode!!!

[Tyrizzel69]

i expected the rat to randomly just blow up lol

[gamc1001]

Wow that country is so poor that needs rats to detect landmines instead of specail devices , the risk is still up to them look at the video

[SoulCrie]

@gamc1001 I totally agree. This is hillarious!

[hecklovetch]

Lol that's awesome. Rat heroes.

[manolitomulat]

i thought they would let the rats die with the lanmines instead of harming human life

[owshitboyfuckyeah]

I thought the same thing.. , i fell good that i was wrong.. hahaha.. =D

[ItzMeEric]

but then again it was a civil war...

[cicatriz79]

in retrospect, perhaps it wasn't a good idea to use landmines in your own country.....

[shanegiggie]

Man's new best friend???...I doubt it .but thesefolks might think so...

[h34lyfe]

aww they look cute on a leash i want one

[owshitboyfuckyeah]

Hahaha! Me too =D

[smouty2001]

oh and dont have a go at me if i got it wrong :P i didnt listen to the audio

[Grafbanaan]

They arent there to trigger the mine they are just there to search them... Like resque dogs.

And why the hell didnt you listen to the audio fuck...

[epshot]

THATS A HUGE RAT!

[Squilt666]

what the hell its on a leash

[xxAirsoftIDIOTxx]

a mouse aint gonna see one of the landmines and its gonna trip it and the muthafucker blow up in the air.

[ThunderrStruck]

no. they can smell the exlosive powders/oils/chemicals in the mine, and they are to light to trigger the mine. you dumb "muthafucker"

[xxAirsoftIDIOTxx]

u fag jew.

[ThunderrStruck]

lol why/how am i a jew you dumb fucking asshole?

[232lalas]

they are so cute

[DigitalFlameProduct]

I keep replaying just it to hear him say 'giant rats'...it's just so funny!

[EngIandExpects]

Its like a military version of tales of the river bank!

Watch ratty............land mine!

[thunderperson]

a real man would take a gess where the mines arent.

[SnowflakeRides]

Like Chuck Norris.

[jihaad]

@thunderperson thats why theres 100000,s of soldiers with missing limbs you drip.are you a man or a mouse XD

[suissemotto]

nice stuff. land mines suck ass xd

[ninjaman58]

mighty mouse

[IndridCold9]

haha! rats are cool man! they are much more clever than other pets

[suissemotto]

ya and people says their a nuisance

[LeeMckCelt]

They should use Robert Mugabe, hes one giant rat.

[KERF0001]

wow thats a big hunk of chineese food saving lives.

[suissemotto]

LOL

[bfbdrummer]

I want one.

[cooliebwoy415]

you want a giant rat from africa?

[bfbdrummer]

oh my god yes!

[vampiricconure]

Gambian Pouched Rats get to be 5 pounds in

weight. Apparently they're really easy to train. They're super food oriented so all you have to do is feed them if you want them to do something!

[ricorangel2]

It would be so much cooler if the rats blew up. That would be awesome.

[turdburglar316]

you know what i think would be even cooler? is if they used YOU to hunt for land mines. i mean all you pretty much are is an even bigger rat, right??? The only problem is they'd only be able to use you once because your fat ass would be sure to set off the mine.

[Hashpotato]

they're just rats for fuck sake, gives a shit if they blow up, as long as it prevents people from stepping on them.

[turdburglar316]

meh. honestly i don't give a damn either way, i was just trying to start shit. but to tell you the truth i would rather see people getting blown up by land mines than giant rats. that's just me though... either way i'm not going to lose sleep at night (at least not over this issue)

[leroyspeaks]

who gives a shit if the people in that country step on the landmines i dont

[muledeer1976]

Thats awesome!

[ryanisoconnor]

nice

[1Tanate]

those are pretty big rats
