Animals have the ability to detect superhuman mines

There are animals that can detect mines and explosives faster and more accurately than machines and humans.

There are animals that can detect mines and explosives faster and more accurately than machines and humans.

Dog

Dogs are the most trained animals to help humans detect mines and explosives due to their ability to sniff the best in the animal world. It is very helpful in faster and more accurate clearance and processing, saving money and time than the way people have done it for a long time. In order to be able to detect mines or explosives, dogs must pass 16 major tests, including many small tests. However, their occupation age only lasts about 5-7 years. Who is really outstanding to work until the 10th year.

Grasshopper

Although the dog is most trained to clear mines, grasshoppers are really "players" who discover extremely good explosives. Scientists have taken advantage of the natural olfactory system inside the nose of grasshoppers to clear mines and ERW, which saves a lot of costs and especially works better than sensors of many machines.

Giant African mouse

Giant mice in Africa are also being trained to mine mines. Compared to dogs, this animal has a small and flexible body that makes it easy to access heavily wooded or rugged terrain. Once trained, giant mice take only 20 minutes to detect in areas larger than 200m2. If a person uses a metal detector it takes up to 4 days to complete the review of this range. In particular, during the mine clearance process, these mice also know to remove unrelated things and only detect explosives with its super sensitive nose.

Honeybee

Honey bees can smell explosives and other compounds. When people, cars and luggage go through the inspection area, if you see the tap of the bees moving, this is a sure sign of the presence of explosives.

Dolphin

Along with grasshoppers, mice, honey bees and dogs, dolphins are also being trained by the US Navy to detect and mark mines in Iraq and the Gulf.
