Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.

Sniffer dog Tucker uses his nose to help researchers find out why a killer whale population off
the northwest coast of the United States is on the decline. He searches for whale faeces
floating on the surface of the water, which are then collected for examination. He is one of the
elite team of detection dogs used by scientists studying a number of species including right
whales and killer whales.
Conservation canines are fast becoming indispensable tools for biologists according to Aimee
Hurt, associate director and co-founder of Working Dogs for Conservation, based in Three
Forks, Montana. Over the last few years, though, so many new conservation dog projects
have sprung up that Hurt can no longer keep track of them all. Her organisation’s dogs and
their handlers are fully booked to assist field researchers.
“Dogs have such a phenomenal sense of smell, ” explained Sam Wasser, director of the
Centre for Conservation biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. He has worked
with scat-detection dogs since 1999. Scientists have been using Conservation Canines in
their research since 1999. These dogs have enabled them to non-invasively access vast
amount of genetic and physiological information which is used to tackle conservation
problems around the world. Such information has proved vital for determining the causes and
consequences of human disturbances on wildlife as well as the actions needed to mitigate
such impacts.
The ideal detection dog is extremely energetic with an excessive play drive. These dogs will
happily work all day long, motivated by the expectation of a ball game as a reward for sample
detection. The obsessive, high energy personalities of detection dogs also make them difficult
to maintain as pets. As a result, they frequently find themselves abandoned to animal
shelters, facing euthanasia. The programme rescues these dogs and offers them a satisfying
career in conservation research.

Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.

Sniffer dog Tucker uses his nose to help researchers find out why a killer whale population off
the northwest coast of the United States is on the decline. He searches for whale faeces
floating on the surface of the water, which are then collected for examination. He is one of the
elite team of detection dogs used by scientists studying a number of species including right
whales and killer whales.
Conservation canines are fast becoming indispensable tools for biologists according to Aimee
Hurt, associate director and co-founder of Working Dogs for Conservation, based in Three
Forks, Montana. Over the last few years, though, so many new conservation dog projects
have sprung up that Hurt can no longer keep track of them all. Her organisation’s dogs and
their handlers are fully booked to assist field researchers.
“Dogs have such a phenomenal sense of smell, ” explained Sam Wasser, director of the
Centre for Conservation biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. He has worked
with scat-detection dogs since 1999. Scientists have been using Conservation Canines in
their research since 1999. These dogs have enabled them to non-invasively access vast
amount of genetic and physiological information which is used to tackle conservation
problems around the world. Such information has proved vital for determining the causes and
consequences of human disturbances on wildlife as well as the actions needed to mitigate
such impacts.
The ideal detection dog is extremely energetic with an excessive play drive. These dogs will
happily work all day long, motivated by the expectation of a ball game as a reward for sample
detection. The obsessive, high energy personalities of detection dogs also make them difficult
to maintain as pets. As a result, they frequently find themselves abandoned to animal
shelters, facing euthanasia. The programme rescues these dogs and offers them a satisfying
career in conservation research.
