Hero Rats – They detect landmines in countries all over the world and they can do it faster and far more safely than using humans with metal detectors. I believe they’ve also used them to detect tuberculosis by smell as well and doing so greatly speeds up the screening process
APOPO’s scent detection animals, nicknamed ‘HeroRATs’ and ‘HeroDOGs’, help to rid the world of landmines and tuberculosis – returning safe land back to communities for development, and freeing people from serious illness so they can get back on their feet.
