The zoo wildlife care specialist Lauren Credidio provides a treat to Runa, an African giant pouched rat, after she searched and found a pouch of chamomile tea during a presentation. Runa performs at weekly demonstrations to show how her keen sense of smell can be used to find everything from illegal shipments of wildlife to landmines. The organisation that trained Runa has started providing the rats to US zoos with the hope of changing the public’s perception of the animals
