Ronin the Rat Breaks World Record for Sniffing Landmines in Cambodia

A remarkable rat named Ronin has achieved a new record by detecting over 100 landmines in Cambodia, solidifying his status as a hero in the fight against wartime explosives. Celebrated for his impressive abilities, Ronin has officially been recognized in the Guinness World Book of Records for his landmine-sniffing prowess. The efforts to train rats like Ronin in detecting undetonated landmines are part of a larger initiative in Cambodia to combat the dangers of landmines left from past conflicts. Ronin joins the ranks of other remarkable rodents, such as a giant African rat who recently retired after successfully fighting tuberculosis.
