Rats are being trained to search for survivors in earthquake debris. They wear backpacks containing microphones and there are also plans to include video recorders and location transmitters in the backpacks. Seven rats have been trained so far and a total of 170 rats are being trained for projects including landmine detection and identifying TB in lab samples.

Rats are really intelligent. I like them.

I remember seeing research where they trained mice to smell the difference in urine of people who had bladder cancer. It was really interesting because the researchers weren't even sure what the difference was in those people. But the mice did find a difference in smell and were very successful (100%, which is surprising).
I love the backpack idea for rats. That seems great!
