Jane Goodall is doing some kind of thing about animal intelligence or something like that. These cat sized native rats in war torn areas of Africa are supposed to be trained 3 times faster than dogs. Little harnesses and all. I'm watching them do it. NO $#!+! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

When they mentioned using rats, I thought they were letting the rats get blown to pieces. And the rats were actually kind of cute. Wonder how they would be as a pet? Gotta be better than those dang hamsters.

My last rat could retrieve little things and come when called, I actually clicker trained him, I know, crazy, but I was younger then <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Am currently the owner of 3 little critters, rather intelligent for such little animals. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
