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. بصراحة أنا بلعب هنا من كام شهر وحبيت أكتب رأيي من غير مبالغة. أول حاجة شدتني إن البرنامج مش تقيل على موبايلي القديم، والتنزيل تم من غير أي وجع دماغ. مش هقولكم إنه مثالي بس الشغل نضيف لحد دلوقتي.

    بالنسبة للألعاب في كم كبير من الألعاب — حوالي 3000 لعبة من اللي شفته. من الشركات الكبيرة عندك Pragmatic Play و NetEnt و Play’n GO. أنا بميل ألعب Gates of Olympus و Sweet Bonanza، ومرة جربت Book of Dead لما يجي مود المخاطرة. القسم بتاع الديلر المباشر من Evolution، وفيه ناس بتوزع لايف وألعاب شوز زي Crazy Time لو بتحب الأجواء دي.

    لو نفسك تشوف البونصات أنا نصيحتي تتفرج على الأكواد الجديدة عند [url=https://888starz-apk30.com]تحميل برنامج 888starz[/url] قبل الإيداع الأول. المكافأة الأولى محترم صراحة وبيوصل لحد 100% زائد لفات مجانية، بس اقروا شروط المراهنة لإنه بيوصل x40 وده اللي غلّطني في الأول.

    طرق الدفع مناسبة للمصريين — Visa و Mastercard شغالين، وكمان Skrill و Neteller، وفي خيار البيتكوين برضه متاح. أقل إيداع رمزي، والسحب عندي جه في يوم تقريبًا رغم إن الكارت أخد وقت أطول شوية.

    التسجيل خلص في دقايق، والسبورت شغال طول اليوم لما كان عندي سؤال. فيه رخصة Curacao وبيدي إحساس بالأمان. في العموم أنا مبسوط بس عايز أقولكم: حدّثوا التطبيق أول بأول عشان الأمان.

  2. Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at feb-en kept that comfortable fit going, sometimes you find a place online whose editorial decisions just align with your preferences and when that happens it is worth recognising and supporting through repeat engagement consistently going forward.

  3. Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at qulavoshop earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.

  4. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at ulvirotrust continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

  5. Also ich spiele jetzt seit ein paar Monaten und muss ehrlich sagen, ich war anfangs skeptisch, ob so ein Laden mit Krypto uberhaupt was taugt. Durch nen Bekannten aus dem Forum drauf gekommen, der seit Ewigkeiten Poker mit Bitcoin spielt, und was soll ich sagen – hangen geblieben bin ich am Ende doch. Grade fur deutsche Spieler ist das sowieso ne halbe Wissenschaft, was Ein- und Auszahlungen angeht, aber dazu gleich mehr.

    Was die Auswahl angeht ist ordentlich was los – ich schatze mal so 1800 bis 2000 Titel, alles in allem. Die bekannten Studios sind am Start: NetEnt mit den Klassikern, Book of Dead, das lauft alles rund. Die Live-Ecke ist von Evolution, echte Dealer und Shows wie Crazy Time, da hab ich abends schon zu oft. Aber gut, das eigentliche Ding ist fur mich halt der Pokertisch – Poker in Bitcoin eben, deswegen bin ich hier.

    Beim Bonus: ich hab 100% bis 500 Euro plus rund 200 Free Spins, verteilt uber mehrere Tage. Die Umsatzbedingung ist 35-fach, ist fair genug ehrlich gesagt, schaut euch das Kleingedruckte durch. Es gibt sogar Freeroll-Turniere fur lau, damit testet man ganz entspannt das Ganze. Die aktuellen Aktionen und Codes schaut euch am besten druben bei [url=https://btc-poker.de/de-de]poker online bitcoin[/url] falls ihrs genau wissen wollt, lohnt sich.

    Kommen wir zum Kritikpunkt – Withdrawals. Per Bitcoin gings bei mir richtig schnell, echt sauber. Beim Versuch mit die Karte nutzen wollte, hats zwei Tage gedauert und die Verifizierung zog sich. Die ublichen Zahlwege klappen, unterm Strich der Witz an der Sache ist, dass es eben schneller und anonymer geht. Min-Deposit so um die 20 Euro, Konto anlegen ging in funf Minuten.

    Unterwegs laufts sauber – App ist vorhanden fur Android und iPhone, und im Browser geht auch alles. Der Kundendienst zu jeder Zeit per Chat, die deutschsprachige Hilfe war ok, aber nicht perfekt, zur Not auf Englisch. Zur Lizenz ist es transparent, das war mir wichtig. Wer aus DE kommt, die bitcoin poker spielen reinschnuppern wollen – fur mich passts gerade, mal sehen wie lange.

  6. Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at auralcleat did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.

  7. A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at pier45attheport suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.

  8. Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at strategiccorporatealliances 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.

  9. Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at nevironexus 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.

  10. Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at brixo extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.

  11. Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at zexarocapital continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.

  12. Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at rixva confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.

  13. 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 everydayvaluepurchase 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.

  14. Bei mir lauft das Ganze schon seit dem Fruhjahr und muss ehrlich sagen, am Anfang war ich echt skeptisch, ob so ein Laden mit Krypto uberhaupt was taugt. Uber nen Kumpel drauf gekommen, der seit uber einem Jahr online Poker mit Bitcoin spielt, und naja – hangen geblieben bin ich dann irgendwie. Als Spieler aus Deutschland ist das ohnehin manchmal echt zah, was Ein- und Auszahlungen angeht, aber gut.

    Beim Angebot wird einem nicht langweilig – so grob uber 1500 Slots, alles in allem. Die bekannten Studios sind naturlich vertreten: Play’n GO mit dem ganzen Kram, plus Betsoft und Yggdrasil, ruckelt nichts. Der Live-Bereich ist von Evolution, mit echten Croupiers und Shows wie Crazy Time, da hab ich abends schon zu oft. Aber gut, das eigentliche Ding ist fur mich nun mal der Pokerbereich – Poker in Bitcoin eben, dafur bin ich da.

    Beim Bonus: ich hab die ublichen 100% obendrauf und dazu Freispiele, verteilt uber mehrere Tage. Der Umsatz ist 35-fach, geht klar fur die Branche, lest euch besser die AGB genau an. Es gibt sogar Freerolls und mal nen No-Deposit-Kracher, damit testet man ohne Risiko das Ganze. Die aktuellen Aktionen und Codes schaut euch am besten druben bei [url=https://bitcoin-poker-online.de/de-de]bitcoin poker deutsch[/url] falls ihrs genau wissen wollt, ist meist aktueller als der Support.

    Nicht alles ist Gold – Withdrawals. Per Bitcoin gings bei mir meist unter ner Stunde, da kann ich nicht meckern. Beim Versuch mit Neteller probierte, zog sich das und die Verifizierung zog sich. Karten und E-Wallets sind alle da, unterm Strich der ganze Sinn ist ja, dass keiner gro? mitliest. Mindesteinzahlung waren 20 Euro, Registrierung ging in funf Minuten.

    Unterwegs laufts sauber – ne eigene App gibts fur Android und iPhone, und im Browser geht auch alles. Der Support ist rund um die Uhr per Chat, die deutschsprachige Hilfe war ok, aber nicht perfekt, auf Englisch lief es rund. Was die Regulierung angeht passt es, das check ich immer. Fur alle hier aus Deutschland, die mal Poker mit Bitcoin reinschnuppern wollen – ich bleib erstmal dabei, kann sich ja noch andern.

  15. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to safercharging confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  16. Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at ulvarostore kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.

  17. Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at trivoxtrustline kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.

  18. Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at trustedcommercialnetwork continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.

  19. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at closingamericasjobgap pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  20. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at zylavotrustgroup reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  21. Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at velixonode suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.

  22. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at trustedmarketrelationship earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  23. Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at xylor kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.

  24. Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at indieboutiquehotels reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.

  25. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at yaveroshop extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.

  26. Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at xelvo reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.

  27. Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at qulavocapital added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.

  28. Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at rixaroholdings 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.

  29. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at cavaropact reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  30. Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at qulvo reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.

  31. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at nolarocapital 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.

  32. Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to catherinewburton only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

  33. My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at kryvoxtrust confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

  34. Nice to see a post that does not try to overcomplicate the basics for the sake of looking smart, and once I looked at balticarrow the same direct tone was there too, which honestly makes a difference when you are short on time and want answers without long pointless intros.

  35. Quietly building a case in my head for why this site deserves more attention than it currently seems to receive, and a look at captchathedog reinforced the case, the gap between quality and recognition is a recurring frustration in independent online content and this site is one of the cases that seems particularly egregious to me today.

  36. My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at zavirogoods added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.

  37. Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at mivon added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.

  38. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at modernonlinepurchase maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.

  39. A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at ulvionlink continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.

  40. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to xanix kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  41. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at velixoholdings suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.

  42. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at reliablebusinessrelationships 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.

  43. Also ich spiele jetzt seit gut vier Monaten und muss ehrlich sagen, zu Beginn hatte ich meine Zweifel, ob so ein Laden mit Krypto uberhaupt was taugt. Uber nen Kumpel drauf gekommen, der schon langer bitcoin online poker spielt, und naja – hangen geblieben bin ich am Ende doch. Fur uns hier in Deutschland ist das ohnehin manchmal echt zah, was Ein- und Auszahlungen angeht, dazu spater.

    Was die Auswahl angeht ist ordentlich was los – so grob irgendwas um die 2000 Titel, inklusive Tische. Die bekannten Studios sind alle dabei: Play’n GO mit Gates of Olympus und Sweet Bonanza, dazu Book of Dead, ruckelt nichts. Der Live-Bereich kommt von Evolution, mit echten Croupiers und den Gameshows, da hab ich abends schon zu oft. Was mich eigentlich halt, das Kernstuck ist fur mich nun mal der Pokerbereich – Bitcoin Poker eben, deswegen bin ich hier.

    Zum Bonus: ich hab die ublichen 100% obendrauf plus 200 Freispiele, gestuckelt uber paar Tage. Der Umsatz ist 35-fach, ist fair genug im Vergleich, aber lest euch die Bedingungen wirklich durch. Es gibt sogar kostenlose Turniere fur lau, da holt man sich ganz entspannt paar Runden. Die neuesten Angebote seht ihr aktuell druben bei [url=https://krypto-poker.de/bitcoin-poker-sites]bitcoin poker websites[/url] falls ihrs genau wissen wollt, lohnt sich.

    Jetzt zum Nervigen – das Auszahlen. Uber Bitcoin lief es fix, top. Beim Versuch mit Neteller probierte, hats zwei Tage gedauert und die Verifizierung hat genervt. Karten und E-Wallets gehen alle, aber ganz ehrlich der ganze Sinn ist ja, dass keiner gro? mitliest. Kleinster Einsatz so um die 20 Euro, Registrierung ging in funf Minuten.

    Mobil klappt alles – ne eigene App gibts fur beide Systeme, alternativ im Browser geht auch alles. Der Support 24/7 erreichbar, Deutsch ging mal besser mal schlechter, zur Not auf Englisch. Was die Regulierung angeht ist alles sauber dokumentiert, das war mir wichtig. Fur deutsche Spieler, die Poker fur Bitcoin antesten mochten – ich zock weiter, schaun wir mal.

  44. Nice to see a post that does not try to overcomplicate the basics for the sake of looking smart, and once I looked at casa-nana the same direct tone was there too, which honestly makes a difference when you are short on time and want answers without long pointless intros.

  45. Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at nixaromind extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.

  46. Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at zylavoline extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.

  47. Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at kryvoxtrustco continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.

  48. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at xalirocapital 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.

  49. Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at vixaroshop the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.

  50. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at zavirogroup carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
