Iceland Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 By Rebecca Cairns, CNN These rats with backpacks are training to rescue earthquake survivors Earthquakes, flooding and hurricanes can cause enormous damage to infrastructure and trap people inside collapsed buildings. A new project from Belgian non-profit APOPO is training rodents to search the rubble of disaster zones for survivors, and kitting them out with tiny, high-tech backpacks to help first responders communicate with them. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/10/24/world/search-and-rescue-rats-apopo-hnk-spc-intl/index.htmlhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/10/24/world/search-and-rescue-rats-apopo-hnk-spc-intl/index.html we love them again!
Prisoner Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Rats should takeover the earth as the dominant species tbh
May Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 imagine being stuck under rubble and a rat walks in and starts filming you , that'd be the final nail in the coffin for me tbh . heart attack!
Cryptique Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 ICONIC.. They're everywhere, might as well make use of them
Almodusa Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 My first instinct would probably be to kick it

TimeAmpala Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 I'd rather die under the rubbles than let those things touch me. Thank you though.
RunUpDoneUp Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 It takes a rat to save a man. The prophecy is real. Rattata is also a based Pokémon.
Bubble Tea Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 I kinda love this lmao. Rats (when free of diseases and domesticated) are quite cute.
chiliam Posted November 3, 2022 Posted November 3, 2022 i would have a heart attack on the spot. Rats and me just dont vibe like that
Breathe On Moi Posted November 3, 2022 Posted November 3, 2022 the replies in here omg this will make for an Oscar winning movie plot line when they actually save ppl tho.
est. in 90s Posted November 3, 2022 Posted November 3, 2022 What about the people that have rat phobias
Specter Posted November 3, 2022 Posted November 3, 2022 A rat with a GoPro filming me as I lay dying under debris is certainly my idea of help When a cat with a GoPro kills it on the way
Subzero Posted November 3, 2022 Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Real life rat version of The Rescuers! Its looks so cute lol. Poor people scared of rats tho Edited November 3, 2022 by Subzero
