Cuando encuentran algo que les parece sospechoso se paran y lo olfatean, avisando de su presencia. Lo bueno es que como su peso es relativamente escaso, pese a pasar por encima de la mina ésta no explota. Si quieres hacerte con uno de estos gadgets biológicos detectores de explosivos tan sólo tienes que buscarlos en suburbios y alcantarillas o basura por tu casa durante una semana entera. Se alimentan con poca energía, de hecho los mozambiqueños sólo les dan plátanos. Si este post ha despertado tu afecto por estos serviciales roedores incluso puedes plantearte la adopción de uno por 5 euros al mes (lo que te cuesta un menú del Mc Donalds con hamburguesa de su carne incluída). —Alberto Payo [Afrigadget] [...] [...] Estos animales van atados con unos arneses y son guiados por un territorio de 100 metros cuadrados por un entrenador.
