The training team has pondered what effect it could have on an already traumatized survivor trapped beneath rubble when they’re approached by a giant rat wearing a backpack.

Dear rat, did you ever know that you're my hero?www.npr.org African giant pouched rats use their acute sense of smell to sniff out landmines and detect TB in sputum samples. Now, they are set to become search-and-rescue specialists too.

Ah. Our city’s incompetence on the national stage. Seattle needs to just take the car away and sell tickets to an event where we smash it with hammers.

A modified Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat roaming Seattle’s downtown by night has infuriated residents who say the car’s backfires sound like explosions, rattling their homes. But it seems no one can stop it.

Yes, because it's absurd that Congress offers $1000s off an electric SUV, but nothing to promote e-bikes that are greener and more space-efficient -- and also far less likely to kill you on the street. www.fastcompany.com/91092410/col...

Move over, Rover! About 1,500 years ago in Patagonia, a hunter-gatherer's animal bestie was a fox that was about the size of a German Shepherd. Archaeologists found the extinct canid's skeleton in a human grave; analysis of the bones showed it ate the same food as humans & was likely kept as a pet 🧪

Foxes were once humans’ best friends, study says | CNNwww.cnn.com Evidence from a Patagonian burial dating back about 1,500 years hints at a close connection between a hunter-gatherer and the extinct fox species Dusicyon avus.
