Accrding t Newsweek, the backpack is made by ne f their emplyees in APOPO, a needlewman and is made t hld a micrphne as well as lcatin trackers. The rats are the real heres thugh. As Kean puts it, “they are s smart and they are s gd at mving thrugh all kinds f different envirnments.” “We have the ptential t speak t victims thrugh the micrphne,” she cntinues, knwing these little rats are n their way t making a big difference.
