Fact 36: What animals were used during WW2?

The animals that were used in WW2 were horses, mules ( horses sized donkey looking animal), dogs, homing pigeons, and even camels, were used in WW2.

Although not an official war animal cats were used on military ships to catch mice and rats.

In WW2 horses, mules and camels were used to carry things like supplies and soldiers. The camels were only used at the start of WW2.

In WW2 homing pigeons were used to take aerial footage and messages. 

In WW2  dogs were used to look for enemy troops and trenches, guard prisoners, transport important messages, sniff out mines, and deliver supplies to injured soldiers and anti tank dogs (I am going to explain in detail in a later blog/fact article what an antie tank dogs are).
