Mine-Hunting Animals -Booklist
Dolphins, sea lions, rats, dogs, and bees can all be trained to quickly locate explosive mines in environments that are inaccessible or too dangerous for humans. In this volume in the Military Animals series (6 titles), readers will get acquainted with these impressive creatures and come to understand how they are able to spot, hear, or sniff out mines. Four short chapters provide an introduction, a history of mine-hunting animals and training programs, and insight into how animals can find mines underwater and on land. The text is well supported by photos of animals on the job and a number of QR codes that lead to a dolphin-training video, a printable word search, classroom connections, and further information on kid-friendly sites, like National Geographic Kids. One minor labeling error is being corrected for e-books and future printings and shouldn’t detract from from the otherwise intriguing content.
