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.

Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at buildyourstrategicfuture only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.
A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at xavro maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.
Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at learnsomethingmeaningful continued that calm volume, content that can make important points without resorting to typographic emphasis or emotional appeal is content that trusts its substance to do the work and this site has that confidence consistently.
والله أنا بقالي شوية أشهر بلعب على المنصة دي من الموبايل، وقررت أكتب تجربتي علشان ناس كتير هنا في مصر بتسأل عن موضوع تطبيق 888starz. أول حاجة لفتت نظري إن فيه كم ألعاب ضخم، فيه حوالي أكتر من 2500 لعبة سلوتس تقريبًا، ومش كلها حشو زي بعض المواقع التانية.
شركات الاستوديوهات ناس محترمين زي براجماتيك وبلاي إن جو. أنا بلعب كتير على Gates of Olympus وSweet Bonanza، ومن وقت للتاني بجرب Book of Dead. لو مش من هواة السلوتس فيه قسم الديلر المباشر من Evolution بموزعين حقيقيين، وألعاب زي Crazy Time بتكسر الملل.
بالنسبة للبونص مش وحش أبدًا: أول شحن بياخد مضاعفة 100% مع فري سبينز، وفيه حاجة بسيطة من غير ما تشحن لو بتحب تجرب الأول. بس خليك واخد بالك من شرط المراهنة اللي حوالي أربعين مرة — دي مش حاجة تعديها. لو عايز تشوف الأكواد الحالية ادخل على [url=https://readtheedit.com]888starz app[/url] قبل ما تسجّل.
نقطة مهمة لينا كمصريين إن خيارات السحب والإيداع متنوعة: فيزا وماستركارد، ومحافظ زي Skrill وNeteller، وكمان Bitcoin. السحب بياخد يوم لتلاتة على المحفظة، مش زي مواقع بتماطل أسبوع. التسجيل نفسه بياخد دقايق، والحد الأدنى للإيداع بسيط.
النقطة الوحيدة اللي زعلتني إن السابورت بيتأخر في وقت الذروة، ومرة استنيت شوية على الشات. غير كده تثبيت البرنامج محتاج تسمح بمصادر خارجية، مش صعبة بس تحتاج انتباه. التطبيق نفسه خفيف على الموبايل وبيجيله تحديثات باستمرار.
بالنسبة لي كلاعب مصري أنا كمّلت عليه أكتر مما توقعت، والتطبيق هو اللي بلعب عليه أغلب الوقت. فيه ليسنس معلن على الموقع، وده بيريّح وانت بتحط فلوسك. لو عندك سؤال اسأل.
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at globaltrustrelationshipnetwork 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.
Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at trustedenterpriseconnections keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.
Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at modernpurchaseplatform 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.
