"Rats are being trained to be sent into earthquake debris wearing tiny
backpacks so that rescue teams can talk to survivors.
Seven rats have been trained so far, taking two weeks to get them up to speed.
Prototype backpacks containing a microphone are being used at the moment, with
rats being sent into mock debris.
Specialist backpacks containing microphones and video gear as well as location
trackers will be created to allow rescue teams to communicate with survivors
during real earthquakes."
