A 'squeaky' feat: Rat breaks world record for detecting landmines
A rat named Ronin has set a new record by detecting over 100 landmines in Cambodia since August 2021, surpassing the previous record held by Magawa. Trained by Belgian organization APOPO, Ronin is part of the HeroRAT initiative. Cambodia remains heavily mined due to past conflicts, and Ronin's achievements highlight the importance of animal-assisted demining efforts.
