Colombian police train rats to tackle mine problem

[penilesecretions]

this "scientist" is a moron. i like how she goes on to say that she creates INSTANT EVOLUTION regarding the mother mouse passing on the bomb sniffing trait to her offspring. where did this lady buy her phd degree?

@penilesecretions as in "baby rat borns with this new trait !?" if so... that's so inaccurate. But if she meant that the mother educate her babies to detect the bombs.. then it's fine. It's always harder to train the first rats, but then it's easier, because the parents of the rats always play their share in the education and the training of the young rats

@aegisknox she claims that the baby is stimulated by merely being in the mothers womb while the mother performs the bomb sniffing. I believe she is theorizing that, or has read that while she studied in her field, but i dont know if there is actual evidence that the baby learns anything while in any animal's womb. As a side note; i believe there is no evidence showing a baby will learn its behavioral patters inside a human mother's womb.
