Rat breaks Guinness World Records for sniffing out 109 landmines
Ronin, an African giant land-mine detecting rat in Cambodia, has become the first rodent to uncover over 100 landmines and other deadly war remnants.
In a recent statement, Apopo, a charity organisation that trains rodents, disclosed that the pouched rat has uncovered 109 landmines and 15 items of unexploded ordnance since August 2021.
Ronin’s exceptional accomplishments have earned the rodent the Guinness World Records (GWR) title for most landmines detected by a rat.
Ronin also broke the previous record held by HeroRAT Magawa, who detected 71 landmines and was awarded a gold medal for his bravery in 2020.
Adam Millward, the managing editor of GWR, lauded Apopo’s HeroRATs for training and caring for the animals.
“Guinness World Records feats aren’t always just about smashing milestones – sometimes they can be about smashing preconceptions too,” Millward said.

“The life-changing results of APOPO’s HeroRATs, their handlers and all the people involved with training and caring for these incredible animals is a revelatory example of the good that can be achieved when humans and animals work together.”
Cambodia, a country in Asia, is still plagued by millions of unexploded munitions left behind from around two decades of civil war, which ended in 1998.
Since Apopo began its operations 25 years ago, the organisation has cleared 169,713 landmines and other explosives across the globe — over 52,00 of them in Cambodia.
The NGO also operates in other war-affected countries, such as Ukraine, South Sudan, and Azerbaijan.
Based in Tanzania, Apopo currently has 104 rodent recruits, or HeroRATS, as the organisation prefers to call them.









After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at devalpha continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.
Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at blog33personal continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.
Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at mousely continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at elmembellish continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.
Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at leashlane maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.
A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at webfountain extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.
Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at softnode reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at truedash keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at stylerivo extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at revenueharbor continues the dense useful content across more pages, this site clearly understands that respecting reader time is itself a form of generosity which is something most blog operations seem to have forgotten lately across the wider open web.
Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at gzcopy provided a satisfying close to the reading session, content that ends a day well rather than agitating it before sleep is the kind I value increasingly and this site fits that role for me consistently now.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at sparkpixel confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
Adding this site to my regular reading list, the post earned that on its own, and a quick stop at backlinkbazaar sealed the decision, the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.
Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at blog33return continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.
Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at looplogic only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.
Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at ideaink extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.
A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at aislealchemy continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.
Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after yarrowzone I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.
Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at neoniche pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.
Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at fixitfactory extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at softnoble reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at logiclens confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.
Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at blog33or extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.
Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked liftlighthouse I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.
Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at williammarquez reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.
Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at pinoyflix added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at puzzlepalace33 kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at webharbor produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at evarica added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.
Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to urbanmixo kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.
Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at devtreasure pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at airfryerables continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.
Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at passportpocket kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at blog33particularly kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at goldgrid added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.

Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at kyliesbrown extends that recommendation across more of the site, this is the kind of resource that makes me more optimistic about the state of the open web than I usually am these days actually for once which is genuinely refreshing.
A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at toasttrek maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.
Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at slategrid did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.
Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at fontfoundry kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.
Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at marqvella continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.
Walked away in a slightly better mood than when I started reading, that says something about the writing, and a stop at mealprepmarket kept that going, content that leaves you feeling more capable rather than overwhelmed is the kind I keep coming back to again and again over the years and across many topics.
My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at metricmart pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at devtitan provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.

Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at ravenpath suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.
Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at globalgearshop extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at yottayard confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at azureatrium kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
