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.









Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at growthpathway added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at makeimpact confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.
Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at forwardpathconstructed extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to bondedgrowthnetwork kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.
A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at creativeplanet 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.
A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at directionalshiftlab 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.
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at lotusosprey kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at bondedlegacyhub 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.
One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at growthalignment added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.
Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after trustedfoundation 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.
A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at signalunlocksprogress 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.
Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at solidanchor extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.
Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at bondedfoundation 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.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at ideasfindmomentum produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at capitaltrustline 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.
Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at bondedvision 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.
helluva boss porn
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at growthmoveswithdesign 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.
Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at directionhub kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.
Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at growthmoveswithpurpose kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.
Felt like the post had been edited rather than just drafted and published, and a stop at ideasneeddirection suggested the same care across the site, the difference between edited and unedited content is enormous for the reader and this site has clearly invested in the editing pass that most blogs skip entirely which really does show up.
The structure of the post made it easy to follow without losing track of where I was, and a look at primeharbor kept the same logical flow going, this site clearly understands that organisation is half the battle in keeping readers engaged from the first line to the last across any kind of post.
Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at growthmatrix 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.
Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at progressbuilder continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.
Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at trustbridgegroup 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.
Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at growthalign held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.
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 actiondirection only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at directionsetsmomentum provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at forwardpathenergized prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at progresswithintentionnow carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at capitalbondcollective reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.
Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at dailyvibe only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.
Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at highmarkbond extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.
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 bondedvalue 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.
Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at growthmoveswithclarity 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.
Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at foundationtrustbond 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.
Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at trustedbondinggroup reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.
Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at designhub extended that distinctive feel, sites that find their own corner of a crowded topic and stay there are sites worth following and this one has clearly carved out its own space and committed to defending it carefully.
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at actionbuildsflow confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at visionexecution reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.
Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at loungeload added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at signalclarifiesgrowth 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.
Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at capitalbondline 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.
Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at unitybondpath extended that distinctive feel, sites that find their own corner of a crowded topic and stay there are sites worth following and this one has clearly carved out its own space and committed to defending it carefully.
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at valorbond also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at unitydrivenbond 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.
Reading this felt easy in the best way, no friction and no confusion at any point, and a stop at actiondriven carried that same comfort across more pages, the kind of editorial flow that lets you absorb information without fighting the format which is increasingly hard to find on the open web today across topics.
Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at growthmovesbydesign earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.
Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at strategylogic confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.
Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at directionpath pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.
