Let's say that there was an earthquake and you were buried in the rubble. Would it matter HOW you were rescued? What if it was "rescue by rat"?
Scientists have been working with rats (who happen to be quite intelligent) to see if they can be trained to crawl deep into rubble to rescue people. How? Well, they wouldn't be able to grow super powers or anything, but they would be equipped with a speaker and a microphone so that you can hear rescuers and talk back to them.
On today's Podcast, Doug lets us know if he would be willing to be rescued by a rat!
