I just showed the Russian monument to lab rats to Tess and he loved it! http://www.buzzfeed.com/donnad/russian-scientists-build-monument-to-honor-lab-rats

I'm not Dr. Fast but I can answer your question. We've never found a mine type that our rats haven't been able to detect. They have proven to be extremely versatile which makes them even more effective. We are continuing to research to better understand exactly how they are able to detect a large variety of different mines.

Cindy has gone for the evening but I can relate. My cats have no respect for me whatsoever whilst Dr Fast managed to train her cat to use a toilet on a plane!

Our rats are pretty big as it is. The clue is in the name. I'd get swarmed by them pretty quickly I reckon. But just one human sized African pouched rat? If that Aussie dude can get a shot in on a kangaroo I might be able to put up some semblance of a defence.

We know that one of the voice actors from Ratatouille appreciates our work but we've never heard from Pixar. A cartoon about the adventures of a life-saving mine detection rat sounds like a big hit to me. The closest we've got is our own theme tune, but beware, it's impossibly catchy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgv21gJnAsM
