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. Dolga leta sem se boril sam. Potem pa sem naletel na eno mesto in vse se je postavilo na svoje mesto. Govorim o ambulantnem zdravljenju alkoholizma pri strokovnjakih, ki res znajo pomagati. Veste, ni lahko, ampak se da premagati. In kar je najpomembneje – ni treba v bolnišnico. Sam sem preveril celoten postopek in vse uradne informacije so na voljo na tej povezavi: Dr Vorobjev [url=http://zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]http://zdravljenjealkoholizma.com[/url]. Zdaj sem že pol leta trezen in ponosen nase.

    Če kogarkoli, ki ga imate radi ne ve, kam se obrniti – najboljša odločitev je poklicati. Srečno!

  2. Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at buyersmarket continued that author absent quality, content that disappears the writer to focus on the substance is a particular kind of generosity and this site has clearly chosen the substance over the personality consistently.

  3. Pozdravljeni. Preizkusil sem že vse mogoče. Ko gre za zdravljenje alkoholizma — to je res težka zadeva. Prijatelj mi je priporočil en center, kjer res vedo, kaj delajo. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev centru. Preverite sami na povezavi: ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com[/url] Po nekaj tednih sem začutil razliko. Prvi korak je vedno najtežji. Ampak ko enkrat najdeš pravo pomoč — vse postane lažje. Če kdo dvomi, naj kar pokliče in vpraša. Ne obupajte!

  4. Honestly enjoyed reading this more than I expected to when I first clicked through, and a stop at sambavarsity kept that pleasant surprise going, sometimes you stumble onto a site that just clicks with how you like to read and this is one of those for me right now today which is great.

  5. Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after valecovegoodsgallery I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.

  6. Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at uptonstarlit 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.

  7. Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over crystalbuyhub 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.

  8. Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at vocabtoffee was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.

  9. My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at valueshoppinghub extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

  10. Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at gladeharborcommercegallery kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.

  11. Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at cyljax continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.

  12. I usually skim posts like these but this one held my attention all the way through, and a stop at hueheron did the same, that is a strong endorsement coming from me because I am usually quick to bounce when content gets repetitive or fails to deliver on its initial promise made in the headline.

  13. Že kar nekaj časa spremljam to temo. Ko sem prvič slišal za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem prebral izkušnje anderen — ugotovil sem, da to res deluje. Alkoholizem uničuje družine. In najhuje je, da ne poznajo dobrih možnosti zdravljenja. Zato priporočam, da preverite celoten postopek na spletni strani, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=http://alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]http://alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com[/url]. Tam boste našli vse potrebne informacije.

    Zdaj živim polno življenje brez alkohola. Če poznate koga, ki potrebuje pomoč — ne odlašajte. Upam, da vam bo koristilo!

  14. Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at temposofa 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.

  15. Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at jekcar would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.

  16. Že dolgo nisem vedel, kako naprej. Potem pa sem izvedel za center in vse se je postavilo na svoje mesto. Govorim o ambulantnem zdravljenju alkoholizma pri strokovnjakih, ki res znajo pomagati. Veste, ni lahko, ampak se da premagati. In kar je najpomembneje – lahko ostanete doma. Vse informacije in izkušnje drugih sem podrobno pregledal na spletni strani, posodobljene podatke pa si lahko ogledate tukaj: odvajanje od alkohola [url=zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]odvajanje od alkohola[/url]. Zdaj sem že pol leta trezen in ponosen nase.

    Če vi ali kdo od vaših bližnjih ne ve, kam se obrniti – resnično priporočam. Držim pesti!

  17. Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at caramelcovemarketgallery 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.

  18. Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at woodcovevendorparlor added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.

  19. Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at kettlecrestmerchantgallery extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.

  20. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at pyxedge extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  21. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at lanternorchardvendorparlor only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  22. Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at irubrisk confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.

  23. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at swapvenom confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.

  24. Živjo vsem. Preizkusil sem že vse mogoče. Ko gre za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma — ni šala. Prijatelj mi je priporočil en center, kjer res vedo, kaj delajo. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev centru. Preverite sami na povezavi: Dr Vorobjev [url=alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com[/url] Najboljša odločitev, kar sem jih kdaj sprejel. Prvi korak je vedno najtežji. Ampak ko vidiš, da nisi sam — vse postane lažje. Več kot vredno je poskusiti. Vsak nov dan je priložnost.

  25. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at trenchtwist produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

  26. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at gyrarena extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.

  27. Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at valecovegoodsgallery 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.

  28. Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at buyspotstore 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.

  29. Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to stashsuperb continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.

  30. Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at glassmeadowcommercegallery added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

  31. Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at sharesignal extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.

  32. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at digitaltrendstation reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

  33. Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at huejuly continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.

  34. Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after lanternmeadowcommercegallery those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.

  35. Pass this along to colleagues if the topic comes up, the framing here is sensible, and a stop at cloverharborcommercegallery adds more useful angles to share, the kind of content that improves conversations rather than just feeding them is what makes a resource genuinely valuable in professional contexts going forward over time and across project boundaries too.

  36. Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at dahbrood carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.

  37. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at opalrivergoodsgallery extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  38. Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at sageharborcraftcollective extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.

  39. A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at opalrivercraftcollective extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

  40. Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at sorreltavern continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.

  41. Pozdravljeni. Dolgo časa nisem vedel, kam naprej. Ko gre za odvajanje od alkohola — ni šala. Prijatelj mi je svetoval en center, kjer ne obetajo nemogočega. Govorim o zdravljenju po metodi dr. Vorobjeva. Vse podrobnosti in izkušnje drugih ljudi najdete tukaj: odvisnost od alkohol [url=https://www.alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]odvisnost od alkohol[/url] Meni so res pomagali. Prvi korak je vedno najtežji. Ampak ko enkrat najdeš pravo pomoč — vse postane lažje. Več kot vredno je poskusiti. Ne obupajte!

  42. Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at trophysofa added a few more I will be testing alongside, content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.

  43. Že kar nekaj časa spremljam to temo. Ko sem prvič slišal za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil skeptičen. Ampak ko sem prebral izkušnje anderen — ugotovil sem, da to res deluje. Alkoholizem uničuje družine. In najhuje je, da mnogi ne vedo, kam se obrniti. Zato vam želim pokazati vse tehnične podrobnosti in uradne informacije, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]zdravljenje alkoholizma[/url]. Na tej povezavi so odgovori na vsa vprašanja.

    Zdaj živim polno življenje brez alkohola. Če se soočate s podobno težavo — ne odlašajte. Srečno vsem na tej poti!

  44. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at uppersharp extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  45. Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at silvercovecraftcollective maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.

  46. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at kettleharborcommercegallery reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

  47. Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at slackvista extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

  48. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at pearlharborvendorparlor suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.

  49. Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at isebrook added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

  50. Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at huijax reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.
