[meteorite-list] Meteorite Hunting Rats

[drtanuki]

Dear List,

Hopper The Meteorite Dog and Brix The Dog will soon only be on TV?

Rats now being used to search for landmines will soon be trained by meteorite hunters to hunt for meteorites, predicts LunarMeteorite*Hunter, Tokyo, Japan.  Rats have an acute sense for smell and are extremely accurate in detection; rat "packs" will soon be used to search strewn fields in Poland, Canada, the US and elsewhere.
 " Dogs will soon be out of use due to their large size and food consumption; rats are "in"".
