Rats hep humans in more ways than anyone can imagine.

In Africa, there's a rat called the African giant pouched rat that sniffs out land mines. Dog are too heavy and set the mines off, the rats, however, are light enough to detect the mines without setting them off at which point a person comes over to disarm the bomb.

In science rats have done more for medicine than one might give them credit for. Mice and rats have made advancements in medicine such as the new possible vaccine for Breast cancer, treatments for various diseases and invaluable research on many disorders from insomnia to Diabetes to alzheimer's.

Rats also provide companionship to people in the same ways that dogs and cats do. They're surprisingly excellent pets, better than any other rodent due to their long history of domestication, much longer than any other rodent.

I'm sure rats help humans in more ways, these are just the ways I'm aware of, do some research, I'm sure you'll find much more information about the helpfulness of rats.

  • Disease vectors
  • Source of fur for human use
  • Animal testing in laboratories
  • Detecting landmines

Rats make lovely companion animals, and are relatively easy to look after as long as you give them some free range time each day. They'll also eat your table scraps for you.

Rats are so populous due to their reaching of sexual maturity at roughly slightly less than 5 months of age, and each rat litter can consist of 10-18 pups.
