    Abstract: Six AGR and ten grasscutter were used in this study. The large size of the olfactory bulb of the AGR makes them better sniffers of landmines and tuberculosis patient than the grasscutter if trained. The large size of the cerebrum of both animals makes them good animals for studies on their neurobiology.
