From insects to squirrels, animals have been accused of various forms of espionage for years. As the development of technology, it seems that this trend will continue to increase.


If these accusations are just frightened unprovoked or weird truth?, we have compiled a list of several lists of animals are used as spies in a unique and whimsical, and will probably make James Bond Jealous.

How do you think? Is this the future of espionage, or should we stop the recruitment of species as the preeminent spies?

   Saudi Arabia has recently accused the vultures as a spy after he was found carrying a transmitter bracelet that is placed at the feet of scientists at the University of Israel. The researchers reasoned that the tagging was used to study migration patterns.



2. Cat
   In the 1960s, the CIA reported to have surgery to insert a microphone and transmitter into a cat, a project dubbed the "Acoustic Kitty." Former CIA officer Victor Marchetti told The Telegraph about the project
   
   "to dissect a cat, put batteries in him, wired. The tail is used as an antenna, they make a bad .."
   
   The first cable cat, according to the Guardian, released to spy on and with just a few steps toward the target before the cat was hit by a taxi. then the CIA concluded that the project is not practical to collect data - data intelligence.



3. Squirrels

5. Sea Lions and Dolphins
   The U.S. Navy has been recruiting sea lions and dolphins to the Marine Mammal Program.
   
   Apparently not inspired by the irony of military recruitment "Navy Seals," but rather chose these animals because of their ability to hear and see under water with low light.
   
   Thus, mammals have been trained to sweep for mines, a camera, and even cuff the suspect under water.
   
   Animals groups objected to use of these animals in combat.
   "War is to man as the people and political parties may decide war is necessary, animals can not," said Dawn Carr of the Society for Ethical Treatment of Animals on the BBC.

7. Insects
   The scientists reported experimenting with insects for surveillance. Telegraph explains that the electrodes, batteries, and video cameras are being installed to the insect. U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is working to incorporate transmitters into the brain with moths and beetles as a cocoon.
   
   It is believed that the creature will naturally incorporate implants into their bodies as they evolve.



8. Chickens
