There was a coyote running around downtown Chicago this weekend. Normally that’d be cause for concern, but in this case it’s a GPS-outfitted coyote released by the city to eat rats and stuff. They promise it won’t eat your kids!
This is a baby rat in a minuscule harness somewhere in Tanzania. He’s got his nose in the air, but he’s not looking for cheese. He’s actually sniffing out deadly landmines.
Bangladesh has a disgusting rat problem: It imports three million tons of food a year, and rats destroy 1.5-2 million tons of it. So the government made killing rats a legit sport, with prizes.
