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.

  1. Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at nuartlinnet 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.

  2. Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at buyvani extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.

  3. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at cocoaborn kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  7. Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at meadochre added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.

  8. Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at nylonmoss extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

  11. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at styleluma kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

  12. The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at clarityactivatesprogress continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.

  14. Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at astrebull suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.

  15. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at ideaorchestration did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.

  16. Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at luxdeck 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.

  17. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at caskcloud kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  18. Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at qivmora only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.

  19. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at claritymotion prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  20. Now thinking the topic is more interesting than I had given it credit for, and a stop at modvilo continued that elevated interest, content that revives my curiosity about subjects I had set aside is doing genuine work in the structure of my interests and this site is providing that revivifying effect today actually.

  21. Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at propelmural would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.

  22. Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at byrdclap continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.

  23. Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at jazbrood extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

  24. Доброго дня, земляки Тошнит, трясёт, сил нет Организм просто отказывается работать Короче, нашел реально работающий способ — капельница от похмелья на дому цена адекватная Вернулся к жизни В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — капельница после алкоголя на дому [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru[/url] Капельница — это быстро и эффективно Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  26. Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on zorkavi I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  27. Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at nudgelustre similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.

  28. High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at kanvoro kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.

  29. Салют, земляки Голова раскалывается Рассол уже не лезет Короче, единственное что реально спасает — капельница от похмелья на дому цена адекватная Поставили капельницу с солевым раствором В общем, телефон и цены тут — капельница от похмелья екатеринбург [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-ekaterinburg-lks.ru]капельница от похмелья екатеринбург[/url] Капельница — это быстро и эффективно Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  30. Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at buyvilo continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.

  31. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at ariabrawn kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.

  32. Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at ablebonus 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.

  33. Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at coilbliss reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.

  34. A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at growthoriented maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.

  35. Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over stylevani the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.

  36. Приветствую Мой брат уже четвёртые сутки в запое Мать на грани Домашние методы бесполезны Короче, спасла только эта капельница — прокапаться на дому от алкоголя цена доступная Сняли острую интоксикацию В общем, не потеряйте контакты — капельница при алкогольной интоксикации на дому [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же беде

  37. Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at meltmyrtle kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.

  38. Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to nylonplain maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.

  39. Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at pipmyrrh 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.

  40. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at luxmixo extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.

  41. Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at qivnaro 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.

  42. A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at growthvector continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.

  43. Здорова, народ Брат совсем потерял контроль Соседи стучат в стену Скорая не приедет Короче, врачи приехали и поставили систему — капельница от запоя с витаминами и препаратами Сняли ломку и стабилизировали состояние В общем, не потеряйте контакты — капельница от алкоголя на дому цена [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-znf.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-znf.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  44. Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at modzaro extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.

  45. A relief to read something where I did not have to fact check every claim mentally, and a look at visionbuilder continued that reliable feeling, sites where I can lower my guard and trust the content are rare and this one is earning that trust paragraph by paragraph through consistent careful work behind the scenes.

  46. Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through churnburst only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
