German police train Sherlock

Sherlock is a vulture Grebe of 5 years, a guest of the Walsrode Bird Park, near Hanover.

Soon, however, could become a "policeman". Yes, because thanks to his main gift: a snuff out of the ordinary, the German police is training him to use it in the search for bodies of missing persons.

We are all accustomed to police dogs are able to find drugs, explosives and people. But can you imagine if instead of a Labrador or a German shepherd on a leash there was an ominous vulture? The

using the shell of this bird of prey would lead to a series of problems, first of all should learn to distinguish a human corpse from the carcass of an animal, in addition, having identified the target from above, the instinct to "cleanse" the body could prevail, with the risk that before the arrival agents of the new Sherlock-scavenger may be a macabre meal erasing the evidence.

Meanwhile training continues.
