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.

  2. Good post, the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter, and a short look at cultbotany confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days, definitely a place I will return to soon.

  3. Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at growthlogic held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.

  4. Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at navqiro continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.

  5. If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at pillownebula extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.

  6. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at actionframework extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  7. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at ideaprocessing rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  8. Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at bauxbee reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.

  10. Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at norqavo extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.

  11. Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at mutelion produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.

  12. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at noonmyrrh extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.

  13. Picked a single sentence from this post to remember, and a look at amploom gave me another to keep, content that produces memorable lines is doing more than just transferring information and the small selection of sentences I keep from each reading session is one of the actual returns I get from reading carefully.

  14. Came back to this an hour later to reread a specific section, and a quick visit to ideaexecutionhub also drew a second look, content that pulls you back rather than letting you move on permanently is the kind I want to fill my browser bookmarks with in 2026 and beyond as the open internet evolves.

  15. Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at focusalignmenthub adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

  17. Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at airycargo continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.

  18. Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at progressmovescleanly continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.

  19. Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at ideapipeline kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.

  21. Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at purplemilk extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.

  22. A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at claritymapping maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.

  23. Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at ideasbecomeaction continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

  27. Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at cipherbeach maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.

  28. Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at progressdriver added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.

  29. Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at clarityactivator extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.

  30. Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at qarnexo added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.

  31.

  32. The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at professionalalliancebond kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.

  33.

  34. A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at nexmuzo confirmed the careful publication rhythm, sites that prioritise quality over frequency are rare and this one has clearly chosen the slower pace which I appreciate as a reader.

  35. The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at bauxcircle kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.

  36. Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at nuartplate extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.

  37. Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at myrrhlens continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.

  40. In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at bowbotany extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.

  41. Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at focusdirection earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.

  43. Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at curbcliff kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.

  44. Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at momentumtrack earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

  45. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at lullpebble continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  46. Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at actionintelligence adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.

  49. During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at poppymedal extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.

  50. Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at claycargo kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.
