Yep, they can. Always surprises me the money we spend on inventing and manufacturing (second-rate) technical equipment for such purposes when such an excellent piece of equipment has been provided by nature under our noses (as it were). Mind you reminds me about the old joke about my springer and a lab: the former die half-trained whilst the latter are born half-trained.
