I've always wondered whether there was a scenting ability "league table" so to speak?

I recall the Russians did some tests with Jackal's and they had better scenting ability than dogs..

The other surprise were Rats.. apparently they can detect lower concentrations of odour than dogs and there was an organisation that was training Pac Rats for mine clearing in Africa somewhere...

My other guess would be pigs?
