Runa gives new meaning to "ratted out"

Runa the African pouched rat has an incredible sense of smell, similar to that of a dog. She's able to find the metal ball by smelling the chamomile  hidden inside it. Her incredible nose is why some pouched rats are being trained to sniff out potential survivors at disaster sites.
