Animals have unique abilities that humans don't have.

Bottlenose dolphins have been found to be capable of detecting electric fields underwater, an extrasensory perception useful in hunting prey in murky depths.

The electro-reception was demonstrated by two such dolphins at the Nuremberg Zoo in Germany, the findings of which were recently published in the Journal of Experimental Biology.

"The dolphins involved in the study were able to accurately detect electric fields 90 percent of the time when the fields pulsed under 125 microvolts a centimeter, though their accuracy fell as the electric fields began pulsing slower," the New York Post quoted the JEB.

Some animals have human abilities. A big rat was caught on CCTV doing an office worker's routine, and the footage recently went viral on Facebook.

In the footage, the rat is shown walking towards a drinking water dispenser inside an unmanned office. It then jumped up to the tap and sucked on the snout to drink, GMA News reported.

After drinking, the rat jumped down the dispenser and ran away.

Infectious disease expert Dr. Rey Salinel warned that the contaminated snout may transfer germs like leptospirosis bacteria to water drinkers, according to the report.

Salinel advised that the snout of the dispenser be changed, the dispenser be sanitized or changed, and the office should hire a pest remover to rid it of rats.
