Dec 15, 2009: Rats, The Good Kind
Not Willard or Ben, these are good rats. In fact they're hero rats, to people that live with the day to day terror of landmines.
Quote:
Giant Pouched Rats are only distantly related to the nasties we hate. In Africa they're sometimes kept as pets but more often raised as food. Quote:
That's good because it takes a year to train them. Quote:

We should send the PETA people over there to de-mine the fields instead. Save the animals!

i like rats. Always have. Don't much like it when they unexpectedly invade my home... but I still think they are adorable and fascinating creatures.
