Cops Train Vulture to Hunt for Bodies

"German police have trained “Sherlock”, a vulture, to hunt for dead bodies in remote locations:
Birds generally rely mostly on sight to locate their supper. But vultures like Sherlock have a keen sense of smell and are able to detect the scent of rotting flesh from 1,000 metres (3,000 feet) up in the air."
Very cool.
